1st Trimester

Is this normal?

Hey there,

 

I was wondering if anyone is haveing this issue during their pregnancy. My mouth taste buds are off...nothing taste right and half the time I taste something like metals in my mouth (no my tongue isnt pierced). Also all bread tastes like dirt. Is this normal?

Re: Is this normal?

  • Yes, I have heard of the metal taste.

    Maybe mention it to your doctor, but it should mean nothing...hormones like everything else!

  • Everything tastes funny, bland or just unappealing.  I end up eating spicy things just so I can taste something.

  • I've had the metallic taste in my mouth for nearly a week now... NOTHING tastes the way it should.  It's definitely a symptom of pregnancy that we are lucky enough to experience ;) ha

    I've found that if I drink lots of water, it helps to diminish the metal taste... but only for a temp period. It's much stronger for me at night, too.  Not sure why??

  • I haven't experienced the metal taste, but I've read it is a pretty normal symptom.

  • I had that with my first pregnancy.  Everything tasted like licking a battery and everything smelled like pot.

     This time around, I keep getting a smell of dusty mold and the odd taste of it once in awhile....I'd rather have the battery licking back!

  • I was just saying to DH the other night how I feel like I actually have to concentrate on tasting my food... things just don't taste the way they used to...
  • Everything smells delicious but tastes bland. Hubby and I are saving money in going out because it's not worth spending money on food!
