gagging

Nichie2Nichie2 member
in 1st Trimester
So...gagging seems to be my new, fun symptom.  I gag at smells, while brushing my teeth, when taking my PN vitamin, at thinking of something that MAY smell bad, when cleaning things (dishes, bathroom, gym laundry).  It seems to come out of nowhere... anyone else gagging what seems like a ridiculous amount?!  Yuck.

    I am gagging a lot too, but I think it is more from post nasal drip from my cold last week.  It isn't fun either way!  Feel better soon!

    Yes.  I have been experiencing this for about a week now and with the gagging comes constant nausea (only one episode of actual vomiting).  I have had to switch my toothpaste to a simple baking soda one and brush while holding my nose to prevent getting sick after brushing.  I'm glad this phase is so early on in pregnancy or it would likely make me not want to go through this again.

    My husband told me to squeeze my left thumb to prevent gagging.. (He read that somewhere as a sex tip :|  ) Anyway I tried it a few times and it may be working ( as in gagging stopped after a few seconds) Anyway, It seems to be working better if you squeeze the L thumb using your right hand, not squeezing it in its own fist. 

     ok I know its kind of odd but if its helps...

    Yep I had that too between 6-8 weeks.  I'm now 10 weeks and feel much better.  Hopefully in a couple weeks this will pass for you too.

    You are so right the PN pills make me want to vomit! lol  Even my man cologne yesterday.  Gag!   I feel like a baseball is lodged in my throat to top it off.

    Same!!!!!! Sometimes gagging makes me feel a little better, as odd as that sounds.

    I have been gagging too. I find that if I sort of put pressure in my mouth and around my lips (if that makes any sense), that it passes though.

    I was just reading this thinking, "Nope, not me!" until I went to go take out the trash. Guess that's gonna be DH's job for the next few weeks!

    I am gagging at nearly everything.  It's the worst when I am brushing my teeth.  Thankfully, DH cleans the bathrooms for me so I don't have to.

    So glad its not only me!  I will try the thumb squeezing thing someone suggested.  I have been trying to just breathe through it when I know its coming on.  Hoping this passes soon!
