1st Trimester

Anyone else Gagging way too much??

I had my first complete day of morning sickness 2 weeks ago.  Ever since then, I've been gagging at every little thing!  I can only brush my teeth in 3 second intervals before I gag and need to rinse and try again.  Even just the thought of opening certain food from my fridge I start to gag at and it doesn't even smell!  And when I cough, I gag at the end.  Maybe its a deep cough but even so, this never happened before.  And during every meal, I get to a point midway through where I gag with a mouth-full and decide that meal is over.  Is this what that means?  Because then I'm hungry again within a half hour.  Anyone else going through this???

Re: Anyone else Gagging way too much??

  • When I was pregnant with my 1st, I was a morning puker and an all day gagger. I work in the ER and would literally just walk around, stop, cover my mouth, and gag. It was disgusting and I couldn't find any way around it. I got to a point between 7-11 weeks where I couldn't open the fridge, open the dishwasher, take out the trash, or be in the kitchen while DH was cooking. Then it passed by 13 weeks and I only puked one more time (36 weeks, just completely random barf episode).

    The tooth brushing thing is already starting for me too. I can still brush but I gag through brushing my tongue. Try brushing with a very small amount or no toothpaste. I could almost always tolerate gum, so I went with that.

  • That's a good idea... I too am an over gagger LOL.
  • I gag all.the.time.  I'm going to have to try that toothbrush trick - that's the worst for me!
  • I'm having terrible gag reflexes!  Listen to this!  My DH and I were driving back from lunch and got stopped at a red light.  I look over and there is a man standing on the sidewalk facing us...and he starts PUKING all over the side walk!!!!!!!!!  I immediately start dry heaving and mentally trying to talk myself down from puking up my lunch.  HORRIBLE experience!!!
  • Yes.  I can't stop.  I was going to put stuff in the crock pot the other morning and started gagging so badly that DH had to step in and do it for me.  Poor guy.  He just keeps laughing because the tiniest thing send me into gagging fits.
