Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / June 2006A soapy taste
I have had a weird soap-like taste in my mouth all day. At first I thought there was something wrong with the water at work but it hasn't gone away since I left work 5 hours ago. Eating dinner (chicken and veges), drinking orange juice and pigging out on gummy bears have not helped. I'm fine to eat and the soapy taste doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of food or drink (like I can't taste it when I have other tastes in my mouth) but it comes back about 5 minutes later and just continues to bother me. It's not very strong, just kind of sitting in the background the whole time, making my mouth taste kind of soapy/alkaline. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is it a symptom of something? Or a common occurence in pregnancy? I'm in week 26 if that helps localise it any...

For some, it sticks around the whole pregnancy :-/ People sometimes find that tart things help a little bit (lemon drops, lemonade, etc.), but sometimes nothing much helps.

As Ericka said, it's probably just the pregnancy making itself felt in yet another way. > > Could it be your vitamins?

I've not had the soapy taste during my pregnancy thus far, but it's something I have experienced in the past. Sometimes I would get a soapy aftertaste from Sprite Zero, but other times I would just get it randomly and couldn't for the life of me think of what would have caused it. Thus far what I've seen from casual research involved either hornomal issues or metabolism (speeding up, burning fat). The only possible remedy I've seen for the metabolism cause of the "soapy taste" is "drink more water!" But I don't know if water would do anything for hormonal issues, which would be the most likely culprit of the two possibilities given that you're pregnant. Of course, drinking water is a good idea anyway.. just maybe try water from a different source than you've been using lately and see if that helps? And of course tell your doctor, even if it goes away. I never had the soapy taste for an entire day before, usually I had it for half an hour at most. > I have had a weird soap-like taste in my mouth all day. I had a metallic taste, rather than soapy. I heard weird tastes in the mouth can be a pregnancy thing. Elle Like Elle, I have a metallic taste in my mouth. It even caused me not to eat as much. It is due the pregnancy. :) > > I have had a weird soap-like taste in my mouth all day. > > I had a metallic taste, rather than soapy.
