Metallic taste in mouth after Tetanus/pertussis shot and flu shot

norweigan

I promise I googled this before posting this. What I found was either not helpful or a bunch of anti-vaxxers saying I've been poisoned.

I got both my flu shot and tetanus/pertussis shot today at my baby appointment (yes both. From the nurses reaction I assume I was supposed to get at least 1 of them at my last appointment and the other nurse dropped the ball). Since then I've had a metallic taste in my mouth that has come and gone. I know that can be a pregnancy symptom, but it's not one that I've experienced before. I don't want to call my doctor if this is totally normal (which I assume it is, I just want to be sure).

Anyone else have any experience with this?

I personally wouldn't connect it with the shots. I would just think it was a pregnancy symptom that just happened to show up at the time you got the shots.

ETA: still call your dr though. Like @Shortstack06‌ I had a terrible reaction to the TDaP this time.

I personally had a horrible reaction to the Tdap, so I would still call your doctor.
