choking

Lately i have been choking on water, icecream and even my own spit. It can be scary sometimes. Does anyone else have this symptom while being newly pregnant?

Omg I had this a few weeks ago all of a sudden and only during one week. For me it was ice cream that was the one that stuck out. I was petrified because it's so hard to catch your breath between coughs and it seemed nothing would clear my throat.  Just be careful

I noticed that when i brush my teeth i have a very strong gag reflex. It seems that nothing can go near the back of my throat anymore without having that reflex.  I suppose it's the body's way of making sure nothing harmful gets in to affect the baby. (I havent had it with food though).
