I am 20 weeks and starting yesterday I have been having an almost constant metal taste in my mouth and nothing seems to help it go away. This is my 3rd pregnancy and my first time to have this. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, does anything help????

    Talk to your doc. I know eating non food is a sign of a deficiency maybe that is too.

    My Dr said it's about as normal as morning sickness durning pregnancy. But going to change my prenatal vitamin to see if that helps. I sure hope it does.

    Yeah I get it too...its gross! I feel like I always need the brush my teeth. Sweets seem to make it worse...salt helps me get thru it. I love sunflower seeds

    Salt and flavor the water you drink. That helps too.

    I will be 20 weeks tomorrow and I have also been experiencing that. It isn't all the time and it's really bad when I am eating. I have been craving cereal but when I put the spoon in my mouth all I can taste is metal.

    Thanks ladies. It's nice knowing I'm not the only one. Mine has finally slacked off and I'm hoping it doesn't come back!
