For me it was last night after I had brushed my teeth and gotten bed when I started feeling gaggy...then this morning while I was brushing my teeth. Chewing gum is also rough sometimes!!
Oh yes, definitely. I actually have to change toothpaste flavors when I am pregnant! I cannot tolerate mint flavored toothpaste, and have to use cinnamon.... weird, huh?!
Me too! Once I switched away from mint toothpaste, I wasn't gagging anymore.
I only have the problem if I dare to even think about brushing my tongue. I did read somewhere that using kid's bubblegum flavored toothpaste helped, so maybe it's worth a shot?
Yes, and it was with my first pregnancy too. I dread brushing my tongue..with DD it lasted the whole pregnancy but I wasn't ever sick much with her actually, this time is a whole different story.
Unfortuntelty I BARFED every time I brushed my teeth my entire pregnancy with my son. So far this time it's only happened 2-3 times. I never though about trying a different flavor, or kids toothpaste, that's a great suggestion! It's something about the foaming and extra saliva that makes me barf! So counter productive to barf while brushing!

This! I was feeling good this morning, and forgot that I can't brush my tongue. Total gag-fest!
I'm glad it's not just me, I started thinking it was all in my head. I don't have any morning sickness but I gag when I brush my teeth every time. It's so frustrating, but I guess it could be worse.
For a while brushing my teeth would make me throw up, and then I'd just have to brush my teeth again...
Same here...I switched to a "sensitive" toothpaste and it has helped a bunch. Also, for those who can't brush your tongue w/o gagging, try brushing it side to side instead of front to back. It's helped me!
me too. I've been able to keep food down (even though I'll feel really sick and like I could throw up) except for when I brush my teeth... yuuuuuck!

Yes!
I even tried brushing with plain water- and I still gagged.
