Throwing up when I brush my teeth??

Does anyone else throw up whenever they brush their teeth? I'm 7 weeks and my gag reflex is killing me.

Yes this happened to me,
Drink water before
Don't use a paste use a gel one
Try a different flavor other than mint. I had to switch

Everytime I Brush my teeth I throw up and I'm 18 wks. When I was pregnant with my daughter (she is now 4) I had the same problem. I refuse to stop brushing my teeth or my tongue that would be gross, just something I have to deal with..

I haven't had this trouble at all my entire pregnancy and I'm currently 24 weeks. However, my mom had it throughout her entire pregnancy with me and had to stop brushing her teeth. The only thing I can suggest is maybe listening to music and focusing on it while you brush your teeth slowly and don't bother brushing your tongue because that will almost definitely set you off. Good luck!
