Sensitive gag reflex

[tipper]

Since becoming pregnant, my gag reflex seems to have become extremely sensitive. It is to the point where brushing my teeth makes me throw up. Getting a hair in my mouth is also quite exciting! If I don't get it out within a second I start gagging like a mad woman.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Do you know if it is a temporary symptom? I can't imagine being stuck like this!

Hey hun, i'm a week behind you and i'm exactly the same! My gag reflex has always been quite sensitive but since being pregnant it's much much worse! I gag first thing in the moring as soon as I get out of bed until I can get some breakfast, then as soon as i'm hungry it all starts again! I can't even unload a clean dishwasher load at the moment without gagging!

I hope it stops for both of us pretty soon because it's horrible!

It really is awful, isn't it?! I'm hoping that someone will come in here and let us both know that it typically subsides by x number of weeks. I doubt that is the case, but who knows! Morning sickness has an "expiration" date of sorts, why not this

OMG i thought it was just me lol! I puked the other day from brushing my teeth! xxx

I have this soooo much! I never really had morning sickness but have this gagging ALOT which has caused me to be sick a few times....anything can set me off particularly brushing my teeth and nasty smells! I'm alnost 20 weeks now, so God only knows if it calms down later on! x

Yip! Everyday brushing my teeth is a task, also when i cough it always ends with me gagging. xx

Yes yes yes!!! I have it too. Sometimes even a conversation can set it off!!! Or swallowing! I'm with you on the hair in the mouth thing as well. It's awful! And brushing my teeth has now become a source of dread for me!!!xx

To be honest I just get it over with, once ive been sick I feel fine and can get on with my breakfast!! If Im not sick my food just seems to sit on my stomach so I have a vigourous brush and get it done with!!

I think mine may be stopping! Yesterday and today i've gagged all of about 5 times in total. Still first thing in the morning but thats about it! I can also be in the kitchen without gagging thank goodness lol

Brushing my teeth doesn't set me off, well it did once in the early days so now I keep my teeth clenched at first and brush round the sides then when my throat relaxes I brush everywhere else! Give it a try lol

Mine has always been quite sensitive. I seem to get it to at bad smells, brushing my teeth, coughing etc. My oh was laughing his head off at me the other day watching I'm a celeb eating task and I ended up having tone sick cause I was wretching so much watching them eat brains and stuff
