Does anyone have any tips on how to mask this god awful taste in my mouth???  I know some women describe it as metallic but my mouth tastes like i've got a constant hangover breath!!!  I've tried everything, chewing gum only works for a little while and i can only stomach things like hubba bubba or the chewing gum with liquid in them, polo's give me tummy ache too :-( 

Hi Polly,  I had this problem when I was pregnant with my son, It only lasted for the 1st 12 weeks or so but it was truley revolting.  I never found anything to mask it but I did find certain things made it worse.  Milk and dairy products and eggs made mine worse.  I also found that when I stopped taking my folic acid it cleared up as well. Hope this helps Hayley, Alexander 17 months and 35 week bump.

Hi Hayley, thanks for that!  I'm hoping it goes soon, I'm only 11 weeks and hate to think its here for the rest of my pregnancy!!!  I do find that it's worse after i drink tea etc, although i'm not drinking much of that at the moment thank goodness.  I'm drinking loads of water but it seems to be worse after that too!  I'm hoping that mine goes like yours did :-)
