It’s normal! I had bad gag reflex for both my pregnancies. I am 12w 3d now and my gag reflex hasn’t gone away. Both pregnancies started MS at 5 weeks plus. I always have a small bottle of ointment (Siang Pure oil works for me) with me wherever I go. I can’t smell cooking, smell of soup (pity my 15 month old toddler who usually takes soup for her meals), smell of rice, I can’t smell a place selling food either, it makes me gag so much. It will worsen if you don’t eat or skip meals. But usually it gets better in 2nd trimester onwards though so just hang in there. 🥰
I gagged for 1 week during w5. Started vomiting at w6 lol 😒 If you don't feel nauseous, congrats! You may be one of those lucky ones. Vomiting really sucks :/
Thank you for replying. Makes me feel more at ease I'm not alone! I still have it on and off, can't control it 😅
