nasty taste in my mouth

[charlotte_]

i had this on & off for a week or so in first tri, but never this bad! i've had it constantly since the weekend, it's really disgusting, no matter how many times i brush my teeth, eat a mint or have a drink; it just won't go!

does it mean anything? does anyone know any ways to get rid of it?

Sometimes its just that pregnancy thing. Mine was a metallic taste.

Other thing when PG is you can get teeth/gum problems and it might be that causing it. Mine bled a lot and I used Corsodyl (sp) mouthwash to help. Go get your dentist to have a look anyways maybe.

i found some of that corsadyl stuff in the bathroom, i've just used it, but obviously to no effect yet.

it doesn't taste metallic, it just tastes like... poo! & it's accompanied with really bad heartburn & a shiny feeling all over my mouth, kind of like my mouth is covered with cling film. horrible!

Eww that doesnt sound nice!
I thought you meant the metalic taste too! Maybe as Sherlock says you should see the dentist! It could be an infection or something!?

i woke up today with a sore throat as well, been feeling really run down.
before, i was in the shower & i closed my eyes to rinse the shampoo off & my vision went sort of blurry & 'dream-like', i had to get out & lie down. when that feeling went away it was replaced by feeling really sick & me crying (for no reason?)

i've no idea what's up with me. any ideas?
i feel lousy & i'm a bit worried, to be honest

To me sounds like a throat infection with maybe some low blood pressure (the shower thing sounds like that happens with me when my BP is low) and the feeling sick and crying may just be all part of being ill hun!!
Call the doc and see what he says!
