Brushing my teeth....

Oh man! The gag reflex is on full alert! Holy cow! I can't even keep my tooth brush in my mouth for 10 seconds without gagging. Anyone else having this problem?

    Yes! I had this happen yesterday and I thought it was just me. I was gagging for 5 min. and could not stop then felt sick for hours afterwards. Luckily it went away, but have been careful with brushing my teeth ever since.

    Yes! Brushing my teeth makes me throw up. It takes about 20 min twice a day. I have to stop and drink water and not use much toothpaste.

    This happened to me earlier in my pregnancy. I started brushing my teeth in the shower and that helped a lot!

    Oh this has been a problem almost the whole time for me. The other day I was the sickest I have ever been, and I'm nearly 15 weeks. Some days it's worse than others. I will try brushing them in the shower I guess!

    I've been visiting my family for the last week. Well, this morning I puked in my parents sink while brushing my teeth. It was disgusting. I don't usually get that sick. I usually just gag a lot!

    This happens to me, pregnant or not... However, it seems that my gag reflex trigger moves up to, oh, halfway up my mouth when I am pregnant, instead of just behind my molars. Ugh. :/ I feel your pain mama!

    My SO really isn't happy about the move in my gag reflex!! I've been trying to tell him for weeks until I finally gave up and ended up vomiting all over his crotch! Take that SO!!

    It happens to me every time a brush my teeth - it was HORRIBLE during the first trimester. I drink a couple of sips of water when I feel the gag reflex acting up, and it seems to force it to behave.

    I just had a huge gagging episode after breakfast- I desperately wanted to avoid throwing up, which I'm thankful I was able to do, but now I'm nervous to brush my teeth!

    13 weeks now and even though ms is better I still gag/throw up every time I brush. I'm booking a dentist appt ASAP to make sure no cavities. Never had them and not about to start now.

    Try brushing your teeth in the shower ladies. I promise it works wonders.

    The first trimester, I would throw up every time I'd brush my teeth. Since I passed 14 weeks, I've been gagging but throwing up maybe twice a week. Hopefully it'll go away soon.

    It's SOOO bad.  I'm another "brush in the shower" person.  It does work wonders.

    I have been using my sonicare, but I've switched back to my regular toothbrush a few times for that very reason. I used to brush in the shower, and I may go back to that since it sounds like it helps some of you

    Same thing here! It's terrible. I tried switching toothpaste hoping it would help, but nope. Hopefully it will pass soon for all of us.

    Yes, my gag reflex can take a flying leap as far as I am concerned!  Sometimes it happens with the last bite of dinner or certain smell too.  So not enjoying!
