Since like week 9 my mouth feels so weird and bad smell aata hai even after brushing twice. Bit embarrassing honestly, even my husband noticed na. What did u all do for this? pls share.
Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful with mints or gums because of the sugar content. I stuck to drinking lots of water and doing natural salt water gargles. Do check your sugar levels too if you notice sudden changes.
I totally understand how frustrating and embarrassing this can be, dear. Pregnancy hormones can do weird things to our mouth and gums, but hang in there. You are doing amazing, this phase will pass soon.
After my C-section, I realized how much hydration affects our recovery and general health. Keeping your mouth clean and drinking plenty of warm fluids is very gentle and effective. It takes time, but your body will adjust.
During my pregnancy, I had terrible dry mouth which made my breath smell weird. I started sipping water throughout the day and it really helped. Just keeping hydrated makes a big difference.
Personally, I found that brushing twice and gently cleaning my tongue made a huge difference. I also used to chew on a bit of saunf after meals. It really worked for me without using any harsh mouthwashes.
Arre don't stress too much about this, it's super common during pregnancy! Just carry some cardamom or mints in your bag and do warm salt water rinses. It really helps keep things fresh.
Honestly, who even has the energy to worry about bad breath when you're barely sleeping? But yeah, brushing twice and using a basic alcohol-free rinse is a lifesaver if you can manage it between the exhaustion!
Hormonal shifts like thyroid issues can sometimes cause dry mouth and bad breath. I'd suggest getting your regular blood work done and checking with your gynac. Regular doctor follow-ups really help track these small things.
