"Metallic" taste anyone?

For the past couple of days I've just had this icky taste in my mouth. No matter what I ate, drank, how many times I brushed my teeth, and then today it was definitely more of a metallic taste. I had this during the first tri with my daughter and totally forgot how annoying it is. I don't drink juices or pop so I have a hard time keeping it at bay with just water.

Anyone else dealing with this as well?

Yes, this happened to me a few days ago!  Sweet-tasting things made it worse, but salty/sour flavors helped.  A lot of things I read said that chewing mint gum would help, but that was NOT helpful for me.

It may be due to your prenatal vitamin.

Mine's more "earthy" than metallic. It tastes how a swamp smells. I fortunately can still brush my teeth without gagging, and take full advantage of that. Uck uck uck.

@thehappyphotog I read that can be a cause as well. I had the same issue with another prenatal that I had to take while pg with dd too.

I had that in my last pregnancy. It was especially worse after having anything sweet. Luckily mine past after just a few days so I hope hours does too!
