Toothpaste is making me nauseous

[LMWD]

I’m in my first trimester, and finding that the taste of toothpaste is really making me feel nauseous and it lingers in my mouth for hours after brushing my teeth. Has anyone else experienced this during first trimester sickness?

Its putting me off brushing my teeth... something I obviously need to be doing as a daily routine lol!

This is going to sound minging but in the last 11 weeks I’ve barely brushed my teeth, I’m literally surviving off polo mints and swigging my mouth out with mouthwash, I forced myself to brush my teeth around 8 weeks and I was so sick for a few hours that day it just scarred me and hasn’t be worth it, I’ve tried a few times since but just the toothbrush hitting my back teeth sets me off let alone the smell of the toothpaste and I’ve tried three different brands including a kids strawberry one, I’m really looking forward to being 12 weeks 😂 xx

Thank god i’m not alone 🙈 The actual toothbrush isn’t an issue for me, its just the toothpaste! I’m searching for a flavourless one 😂 Roll on the 2nd trimester! I hope it eases for you xx

I’m going to try lush toothy tabs, they’re all different flavours and you can just chew those, doesn’t necessarily need a toothbrush but you can if you want 😂 x

How about using baby toothpaste? My little girls one in apple flavour? It might not be as strong as regular toothpaste?
