Gagging?

Is it common for your gag reflex to become more sensitive? Has anybody else had this problem?

I'm getting over a cold so every time I cough it's awful. I don't even have to cough hard. I'm only 9 weeks and its my first pregnancy. I haven't had any morning sickness at all so I guess I'll take the gagging over vomiting. However the gagging will eventually make me vomit.

Brushing my teeth has become quite a chore for me...a girl who used to have a strong stomach...

No smells really do that. Its mostly the coughing and brushing my teeth.

Ooh yeah-it's not abnormal-I'm the same way-also for me smells will trigger the gag reflex as well-Just pay close attention as to which things trigger it and try to stay away from it if possible

I've always had a bad gag reflex. But lately its so much worse. I cough I gag. I gag when I brush my teeth. I gag swallowing my prenatal vitamins and a million other reasons. Its making me crazy
