Nasty taste in the mouth -- blech!

Starting to notice something new over the last few days. Perpetual dry mouth, but with this yucky metal taste like a soda can. Thought it might be dehydration but upping my water intake doesn't seem to help. Listerine works for about 5 minutes then back to the yuck factor. Any way to get rid of this?

If you like it, ginger chews work for me. I find mints work as well, but not as well.

Hi there

sorry you are going to have this throughout the whole pregnancy. This is probably why people get weird cravings.  I used to find eating mint choc chip ice cream worked for a while. My mum used to suck orange and lemon flavoured sweets everyone is different you will find something that works for you but forget the listerine lol
