My morning sickness has come back in all its glory and a huge problem I'm having is with toothpaste. Its bad enough if I smell it, but brushing my teeth is a test of strength of whether or not I can get through it. Seems a bit counter productive to brush my teeth and then vomit, only to need to do the whole process all over again!
I've tried a few different kinds to see if its a particular flavour or consistency but nothing seems to be any better than the next one. does anyone know if there is something else I can use, or had this problem too and found a toothpaste that isn't too bad?
How about chewing gum like Extra after eating and then brushing with just water, flossing and rinsing with water before you to to bed. Perhaps extra flossing in the day.
baking soda? eww....I have read somewhere that brushing your teeth with strawberry pulp makes them whiter? dont know about cleaner though....I so know how you feel, I couldnt even look at my toothbrush with out wanting to vomit
In each of my pregnancies I have found a particular toothpaste that I seem to sort of crave. It's so weird. It's the Macleans Extreme Clean. It doesn't taste like the normal minty sorts of toothpastes. I never found that brushing my teeth made my morning sickness worse until this pregnancy. It doesn't worsen the morning sickness as such, but it has made me gag and dry retch a few times.
Toothpaste = is there an alternative?
