Gag reflexes...

FirstTymeMom2B · March 2011

I have not had problems with nausia or vomiting like at all throughout my pregnancy, but for some reason I can not handle my toothbrush! Now I have never had easy gag reflexes but it seems every time I brush my teeth I gag/puke. Anyone else have this problem our am I completely alone?

Same! No morning sickness but my tooth brush, mouth wash, or coughing too much after I eat causes me to gag.

Me too! No morning sickness, but thus past week my nose has been so super sensitive that if anything smells a bit off, I gag, gag, **GAG** and I've never really had a sensitive gag reflex either. So weird. My toothbrush sets it off too.

Same here. Had to buy a tongue scraper cause I can't brush my tongue without vomiting.

If I wait to long to eat I start gagging,and certain smells seem so strong bow and make me gag. Lol

I had the toothbrush thing when I was pregnant with my daughter, I started using a children's toothbrush, a really small one and children's toothpaste that was fruity flavored and it helped a lot

@salsabia I wish I could use a tongue scraper but I have three tongue bars and a scraper just gets caught on them so I guess I am stuck wigh gagging on my toothbrush
