Why pregnancy will be bad for my teeth

So I had a strong gag reflex before pregnancy, but this is ridiculous. Behold, the enemy.


I can no longer use my electric toothbrush for fear of a repeat performance of Tuesday morning when I threw up all over the bathroom right before I left for work. I did not see that coming. So now I have resorted to the regular old toothbrush. You'd think that would do the trick, right? No. It's better, but man, that gag reflex has taken on a life of its own. TMI? Sorry.

I had the same problem with my 1st and 2nd pregnancies. It was the worse during the 1st trimester and than got better. I found that if I ran my hand under really cold water, it was a bit better. The morning was also worse than the evening. Do what you have to do though!!

Ah, yes. I'm so right there with you. I got to the point where I had to close my eyes and brush my teeth and do it really fast. I would tell Ericlee not to talk to me during this time because I needed to concentrate not to gag. This too will pass...you are doing the hard mama work already.
Blessings as you brush,
