Metallic taste during pregnancy

Ever suffered from a strange metallic or sour taste in your mouth early in pregnancy, even when you’re not eating?

It’s just an unusual condition called dysgeusia and sometimes it affects your sense of smell as well.

There are a variety of reasons our taste buds are affected including high hormonal levels, especially of oestrogen, and water retention in cells.

Although dysgeusia is not well understood, it’s usually temporary so this too shall pass.
