Is anyone else having this same thing?

ok so i have heard of the metalic taste some woman get early in pregnancy, i dont think i ever really got it. BUT now i have started with something that is driving me crazy and i want to know if its just me or if others have it because its not a symptom ive read about thus far....after i eat something, anything, it tastes fine BUT shortly after the last bite, i get the taste of whatever it was lingering in the back of my mouth yet it doesnt tast the same, if that makes any sense...basically i get a nasty after taste that lingers and the only way for it to really go away is eat something else. after a few hours it slowly goes away but drinking water doesnt help and it happens after anything that has flavor. i had it with Aidyn, right before i had him and it lasted a week or 2 after he was born and im getting it again now....anyone else out there in this boat or am i alone?

I had it in the first trimester for weeks...and hated that constant bad taste in my mouth.  I had to switch and use my daughters fruity flavored tooth paste because my minty toothpaste made it worse.  Now the taste thing is gone...

Juana I'm down like 13 pounds now so I had those days where I didn't feel pregnant at all. Some days I would wake up not bloated and feeling great and rather than being excited it freaked me out.

The second trimester is so much better than the first. I'm gettin use to days without symptoms and starting to enjoy them.

I have the same taste in my mouth when I drink water. It drives me crazy. I have another question. Are there times when you don't feel pregnant at all?? I am having one of the moments today. I have lost so much weight lately because I have been sick and my belly is starting to look much smaller than it did...is my mind playing tricks on me???

ugh stupid medhelp I keep responding and it's not showing up. I'll keep this one short. It happens to me too, same reason we get bad heart burn. It's because that valve thing doesn't close off all the way so the smell and taste keep popping up to visit long after your meal. I eat a few slices of an apple to get the taste out of my mouth. It seems to do the trick.

Good luck
