Is it normal to have a constant bitter taste in my mouth and vomiting after eating at 35 weeks of pregnancy, could my medications (MCBM 69, Shelcal, and Duvadalin) be causing this, and what are some safe remedies to help?
Congratulations on reaching 35 weeks! It is very common to experience a bitter taste and vomiting late in pregnancy, often due to hormonal changes and acid reflux as your baby grows. Your supplements, Shelcal (calcium) and MCBM 69 (multivitamins), can sometimes contribute to a metallic or bitter taste and cause mild nausea. Duvadalin (isoxsuprine) can also occasionally cause stomach upset. To find relief, try eating smaller, more frequent meals, staying upright for an hour after eating, and sipping ginger tea. Please discuss these symptoms with your obstetrician, who can safely adjust how or when you take your medications to help you feel more comfortable.
