![]() What causes the bad taste in my mouth during pregnancy?Ī surge in hormones in early pregnancy can heighten your sense of smell, and this is intimately connected with the sense of taste. You may find yourself craving acidic and salty foods in early pregnancy (like that pregnancy cliché, pickles) as a way to counteract the metallic taste. Some people believe that having a metallic taste in your mouth early in pregnancy predicts your baby's gender, but there's no evidence to support that. You might describe the taste as unpleasantly bitter, sour, burnt, or salty – or like you've been sucking on pennies. It's very common in the first trimester, and typically subsides in the second. It's called dysgeusia (pronounced dis-GYOO-zee-a). Is it normal to have a metallic taste in my mouth during pregnancy?
