*I hope if you are reading this you are prepared to hear me be a bigger baby then the one growing inside me right now-bc I am feeling pretty discouraged. So stop here if your not interested.*
If I don't brush my teeth, I not only have bad breath, but also a bad taste in my mouth potential teeth corrosion. Yet when I even attempt to brush my teeth, I barf, which means its defeating the purpose anyways right? Because then I still get a bad taste in my mouth and am hurting my teeth. I just feel like its a lose lose situation. Sometimes, I will throw up even if I haven't eaten anything recently. For the last three mornings, it has been water mixed with lots of yellow bile. And of course, the closer I have to get to the toilet, the more grossed out I get, which means I throw up more. Its just a bad cycle all around.
I have taken to having about 4 Altoids every morning after I attempt the teeth brushing, just so I can stop tasting. Is this to be my routine for the next six months? Or is there another solution? Does ANYONE ANYWHERE have any input or experience with this? If so I would appreciate the help. If not, I understand, and I will see you in six months, when I actually am fit to be seen in public again.
Oh no! I'm so sorry! I've definitely been there and basically avoided brushing my teeth as much as possible for a couple months. Do you think you could handle mouth wash? Even just a quick swish over the teeth and then spit it out as fast as possible before there are any bad repercussions. Even now that i'm feeling better, I usually don't brush my teeth until lunchtime. Awful, I know, but i'm usually more likely to NOT throw up if I wait a few hours after i've woken up. Preggie Pop Drops can also help with not only the nausea, but also with any bad breath smells. I don't know if any of this helps, but just know that you are not alone!!! This is why husbands are so great, they love us no matter what! Even if sometimes they are only willing to kiss us on the cheek, rather than the lips. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIs it the tooth brush or the tooth paste? Maybe the smell of the toothpaste. Can you chew gum? Sometimes that helps clean your teeth as well as your breath. Can you use unflavored floss--those little individual ones and you can sort of scrape your teeth with the pick part and the floss part?
ReplyDeleteCould you just put a plain toothbrush in your mouth, like on the side by your cheek and chew on it like you chew on plastic, etc.? Are all these questions making you want to throw up? I wish I could make the bad stuff go away!
