sourish taste bud

Ah yes, this is such a common thing during pregnancy and postpartum! The metallic or sourish taste is usually down to hormonal changes messing with your taste buds, it's frustrating but totally normal. A few things that helped people I know: staying hydrated throughout the day, eating smaller meals more often instead of big ones, and trying foods with stronger flavours like citrus or ginger to mask it. Some mums also found that switching to metallic-free cutlery (plastic or wooden spoons instead) helped a bit, though honestly that one's more hit-and-miss. It should settle down once your hormones stabilise, but worth checking with your doctor or a specialist if it's really bothering you or if it lingers longer than expected, they can rule out anything else going on.

I have this metallic taste since week 5/6, and still ongoing. I have learnt to accept it as it is, and just eat for survival lol. Bland food helps me to have lesser expectations on food taste since I can’t fully enjoy food anymore with this metallic taste and extreme food aversions
