Not only do i gag/vomit if I brush my tongue especially in my first trimester some of my teeth are super sensitive. To the point it feels like I'm stabbing myself with an ice pick. At least I'm not gagging every morning anymore it's tapering off now.

I'm in my 3rd trimester and I get sick everytime. I forgo the night time brushing cuz it makes me so sick. I hope it goes away after delivery. This is baby 5 for me and has never happened in previous pregnancies :(

Yes....almost every day is  a battle!!! If I'm at home by myself (days I don't have to work) sometimes I wait later in the day and that helps some.  But early mornings before work are horrible.  I've gotten sick several times from it!!

Only in the first tri mester this was an issue for me. Never in my previous 2 pregnancies. Hope it stops for you soon.

Yes! I found that not brushing as soon as I wake up helps. I'll take a shower then brush after. It makes a difference!

I'm in my 2nd trimester and I'm still having a hard time with it. I literally have to put mind over matter to get it done! I never had a problem with it in my other 2 pregnancies. I dread brushing my teeth! Lol

Oh girl yes! My first trimester and brushing my teeth...not the best combo! I've always been funny about certain toothpaste I could use, but even my go-to ones still had an impact on me. Some days I would gag, others I would throw up (the only time I did throughout my pregnancy). Hang in there and hope it gets better for you! Good luck and best wishes!
