I'm 15 weeks and in general my MS has gotten better, just a little sick morning/evenings. And I know this is completely psychological, but every time I go to the bathroom, take my kids to the bathroom, sometimes even just thinking about bathroom stuff, I start gagging like crazy. The more I tell myself not to think about it, the worse it ends up. It's not just smell either. I have this with brushing teeth too but not as bad. Is there anyway to try to make myself get over it?!

This happened to me with blowing my nose or even thinking about blowing my nose. I didn’t even really have MS but I’d gag every time. It didn’t go away until I had the baby.

@graceandjoy: 🤔 I'm not even pregnant and public restrooms make me gag! 🤢🙄
I gag when I clean the toilet after company has visited EVERY TIME. 🤦♀️ It was horrible when I was pregnant (with both of my full term pregnancies) and just opening a bathroom door (especially leading to public stalls) would make me feel hot and cool and then I would dry heave. My heart
goes to you because it is such a disgusting sensation brought on by such an inane catalyst. Hopefully, yours will soon end as your pregnancy progresses. 🤞

@LadyDi: Uggh yeah I'm fully prepared to be like this. And it really doesn't help that I have to pee A LOT lol!
@Kaohinani: Haha yes to the yes! I forgot about cleaning the toilet too! DH has pretty much taken over that cuz I just CANNOT. And I am mostly just home or at the office so no where disgusting, so I know it's completely in my head, yet it won't stop! Is dry heaving when you keep gagging nonstop??

@graceandjoy: Yes, it is when one gags (and can be nauseous) but nothing comes to fruition (* no reflux or vomiting). It can be intermittent or continuous based on one's presence to a stimuli -- in our case, the latrine!

@Kaohinani: Ok I changed my post title to dry-heaving; 100% what I am doing lol!

Oh my God, I'm going through EXACTLY the same thing. Every time I get near a bathroom or think about a bathroom. I also retch or throw up every time I brush my teeth. I thought I would be over this by now but at 20w it's back with a vengeance and it SUCKS.
Solidarity, mama.

@helloperidot: Uggh I am so sorry you are too! Last pregnancy I was really bad with the brushing teeth thing, but it also subsided at some point, plus I only have to brush teeth twice a day vs heading into a bathroom a bajillion times a day. I will let you know if anything helps at all; but so far no
