oh no toothpaste

hi im 8 weeks pregnant and every time i brush my teeth i throw up ! anyone got any ideas how to stop this happening ? thanks:hissy:

I was the same, I hated anything mint, it didn't last long though. I just put up with it as it had to be done lol

Probably less to do with the toothpaste, more to do with your gag reflex (: I'm the same, although more when I cough now it's easing off. Just go easy when brushing, try not to pull your tongue out (if that makes sense) when brushing as it moves the back of the throat.

Orrrr you could try strawberry toothpaste! You know the stuff they give kids, it could really help if it's the strong tasting mint causing you to feel ill!

It was def the mint for me as i couldn't eat mint sweets didnt think or kids paste lol oh well.

i have the same problem!! think it is a gag reflex thing with me though, not the mint!!

you'd be surprised how mnay preganat people toothpaste has that effect on. I beleive they do a fennel toothpaste in boots for this but i don't know what it tastes like

thanx everyone i will try anything

I am suffering the same thing - gagging straight after!! will try some of these!

brush your teeth first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, on a night i wouldnt eat after about 8 and just used strong mouthwash if i felt full. got to this stage when hubby got cross with me being sick every morning and night, so had to deal with slightly pongy breath mind youthe purple listerine blows your mouth off

Switch toothpastes, this happened to me too and I found that switching toothpastes (to one that didn't create as much foam in my mouth if that makes sense) very helpful

I tried changing toothpaste but think its just the gagging feeling that triggers the sickness,thanks for all your help,youve been great xxx

I have had this problem all 3 times ive been preggers. Its worse when i brush my tongue. I always bring up a wee bit of sick and need to start all over again:cry:
