Yellow tongue

Posted 06-30-17
So--here's a fun weird pregnancy symptom--yellow tongue! I did not have this with my previous pregnancies but apparently it's common. So if you have it and we're worried--you're fine! Turns out hormones can alter the color of your tongue. I was told not to change anything; it'll just disappear on its own. Also, don't try internet suggestions like swishing with water/peroxide mix as can cause your tongue to turn black! Just wanted to share as I definitely was worried!

Posted 06-30-17I have the same thing. It's like it's coated with grossness. I use my tongue scraper like 3 times a day now. Helps a little. Definitely didn't have this with my other pregnancies. I also have that metal taste in my mouth, too. So annoying 🙄- jJulesNBabe Original PosterPosted 07-01-17Coolpk2003 said:Weird!!!

I'm really looking forward to it going away along with the metal taste. Annoying and foods taste different.

Baking soda toothpaste helps a whole lot. I would scrape my tongue then brush with a hippy dippy mint and baking soda toothpaste. It would keep the weird taste away longer than anything else. Dr said it was normal but can last the whole pregnancy
