my muh stays bitter almost all the time and nothing tastes good, even water feels weird. im around 8 weeks. is this a pregnancy thing or am i imagining it? someone pls relate.
This is very common re. My mom told me to chew on a small piece of ginger or cardamom (elaichi) to get rid of that bad taste. It really helped to freshen my mouth.
Honestly, my mouth tasted like cardboard for weeks! I used to brush my teeth three times a day just to feel normal. It is annoying but completely harmless, don't worry.
I panicked thinking I had some liver infection because of the bitter taste! But my gynac reassured me it is just pregnancy hormones. It is totally normal and will pass.
You don't need any expensive mouthwashes for this. Just gargle with salt water twice a day and keep some amla candy or lemon in your bag. It is cheap and works wonders.
Yes re! It feels like you have been sucking on rusty iron nails or a bitter gourd. It is just hormonal drama playing games with your tongue. Sucking on orange or lemon candy really helps.
Oh, I didn't know this could happen! I am planning my pregnancy now and learning so many new things. Is there any specific remedy that worked best for you?
I felt this terrible bitter, metallic taste in my mouth during the first 3 months. It made me cry because even normal water tasted awful. Eating a small piece of lemon candy helped me a lot.
Yes, this is called dysgeusia and it is completely normal in the first trimester. Don't worry, it goes away by week 14. Keep chewing on sugar-free mints or drink lemon juice to clear the taste.
I know how frustrating it is when you can't even enjoy your food because of that awful taste. It is totally normal, so please don't stress. Try drinking thoda fresh orange juice to help.
