Since 2nd trimi started my mouth feels weird and breath is so bad even after brushing twice. Mere husband ne bhi notice kiya which made me embarrassed. Is this a pregnancy thing or something else? anyone else faced this?
It's completely okay dear, pregnancy hormones can do crazy things to our gums and mouth. Try brushing twice and staying hydrated. If it's bothering you too much, definitely ask your gynac during the next scan.
I've heard from my cousins that hormonal changes and morning sickness can cause dry mouth, which leads to this. Maybe drinking lots of water throughout the day can help a bit? Do check with a doctor if you feel any gum pain.
Oh God, I had this too because of severe vomiting in my first trimester. The acid from vomiting ruined my breath completely. Gynac told me to rinse with warm salt water after every throw up and it really helped.
Honestly, my husband used to sit a bit far from me because of my breath, haha! Hormones and dry mouth make it so bad. I just kept chewing on cardamom or sugar-free mints, but doc said it's totally normal.
Our bodies go through so many changes during this beautiful journey. Stay positive, keep sipping water, and chant some positive words to feel better. Take care of your dental hygiene and things will improve with time.
