1st Trimester

Brushing Teeth (VENT)

Seriously - I am getting really sick of this... I am brushing my teeth in the morning... minding my own business when BAM my toothbrush hits too far back and hits my gag reflex full force... which leads to me dry heaving/vomiting for about 3-5 minutes....

 This is rediculous! Anyone else?

  • Me too!  I thought the low foam toothpaste would help, but it seems to be when I pull my toungue back or push the brush back too far.  I have yet to vomit, but I heave the entire time.  It's horrible!!

  • Yes! This happened with my first pregnancy too and it last well into second trimester. It is the only symptom that really lasted. I had my first experience this morning .... Not looking forward to this again!

  • I was like that for the first few weeks and then I switched my toothpaste and things seem much better now. Maybe try a different toothpaste or try to be extra careful to stay clear of the back of the mouth. I also spit a lot b/c I found that keeping extra toothpaste in my mouth made me gag more. I hope it gets better soon!

  • Yes this happened the other day and I was gagging for a few minutes.  It really hurts and hope I can get this down to a science without gagging all the time.

  • I just bought the liquid-gel kind, Crest, I think.  And it is much better than regular toothpaste.  I also am trying to brush quickly and try to make up for it by using a mouthwash afterward and flossing more since those don't seem to trigger it.

    This. I never went too far back, but for whatever reason brushing my teeth makes me gag (if not puke) every morning. I hate having to go through it ALL OVER AGAIN if I do puke. Spitting a lot helped, but not totally. Switching toothpaste didnt help so far either. I just posted about this like last week or so and it was suggested to try to dip it in baking soda if its the foam, or try different flavors.
