My gag reflex has turned on me. Literally. I cannot stand to have normal things in my mouth. Even my toothbrush has a hex on me. It just vibrates around, profusely gyrating about, threatening to send me to the porcelain God. Even smells do it for me. If I smell the wrong thing, madness ensues.
It’s really ironic, the mouth issue. I don’t have a uvula (this is not a vulgar thing). I had it removed because of my sleep apnea. I was told I’d never gag, make oinking sounds, or speak French again (not that I ever did any of these things to begin with).
I can only attribute my newfound disgust with oral items to pregnancy. In the meantime, I’m keeping everything foreign away from my mouth and perhaps signing up for a French class or two.
Ah memories. If you swallow it you gag, if you spit it out, gag.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been pregnant in 16 years and I still remember!
Yes! I guess it's a pregnancy thing. I also choke on my own saliva during pregnancy. lol. I don't know what that's about, either. lol.
ReplyDeleteMy first pregnancy was like that. Everything sent me running for the toilet. Hopefully things get better. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteVery glad to know this is "normal"! No, I'm not pregnant...nor have I ever been. BUT, I had a friend who carried an empty water bottle around the entire time she was pregnant...to spit in! She would tell me it's because her saliva would make her gag, which I thought was the craziest thing I'd ever heard! I guess I should apologize and tell her I was wrong, not so crazy afterall! lol :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pregnancy...hope it flies by for ya!
Me too, especially with brushing my teeth. And it was way hard to swallow those huge prenatal vitamins!!
ReplyDeletei had that same toothbrush/gag thing when i was pregnant (all 4 times). totally random, bc i never felt sick or threw up.. just gagged on miscellaneous things, or the THOUGHT of misc. things in my mouth.
ReplyDeletewow. uvula? i would have totally thought that was vulgar had you not said it was NOT vulgar. did that make any sense?
lastly, i forgot how much your blog makes me LAUGH! you are a trip. i was just catching up w/ you today! im totally smiling now!
