Thats how i knew i was pregnant noticed it just before i missed my period tested 2 days after i was due to come on and it was positive. I would never have noticed my period was due to come on if it wasnt for that metal taste. I complealty forgot to check my calender that month as to when it was due to start untill i tasted metal and then looked :)

That happened to me in my first trimester, nothing helped of though not brushing my teeth and not gum either. I just had to deal with it. But it went away, I'm now 29 weeks and haven't had it for a long long time

I have the same issue. Lol it is driving me nuts. Chew a piece of sugar free gum it helps big time. Or just brush your teeth. Asked my dic and she said it is normal. Some ppl do it thier entire pregnancy.

Totally normal in pregnancy. If you're worried speak t your doctor or midwife, but it's normal.

I'm 20 weeks and yes I experienced that around 14 weeks. My doctor said it's normal. Prenatals also make that happen.
