Pregnant, no taste. What's going on?

Pregnant women feel no taste in the mouth, which is a normal gastrointestinal reaction during pregnancy. The main cause of this symptom is related to changes in sex hormone levels during pregnancy. Under the action of high levels of sex hormones, gastrointestinal motility and emptying function are reduced, and the ability to digest and absorb food is reduced, resulting in no appetite. Due to the influence of this sex hormone, the sensitivity of taste nerve is reduced, so that patients do not feel slight stimulation. For this situation, pregnant women can consider eating some slightly spicy food, or sweet and sour taste food, to increase the sensitivity of the taste nerve, so increase appetite. This symptom is normal in pregnancy after three months gradually relieved.
