Gag Reflex

I've never in my life had a gag reflex. I can barely get through brushing my teeth in the morning. It's makes the morning sickness so much worse than it is. Any solutions?

    No solutions here, but I am definitely in the same boat. I gag non-stop. When I'm out of breath, super hungry, brushing my teeth, even sometimes when the seat belt brushes against my neck. I was like this when I was pregnant with my son, too. The hyper-sensitive gag reflex was one of my first signs of pregnancy this time. Hope yours calms down some!

    Oh no I hope it doesn't get worse! My body is getting used to my symptoms but there's no getting used to that!!

    Nope. Mine lasted my entire pregnancy last time.

    This started around 6-7 weeks for me in my last pregnancy and wore off for the most part around 14 weeks---but if I coughed too hard or caught a bad smell then I would still gag. It helped to immediately start drinking something or chewing on a piece of hard candy. The swallowing, especially something flavored helped me get it under control in the moment many times so I didn't wind up getting sick to my stomach.
