Am I just weird, of did you also suffer geographic tongue in pregnancy?

Its cause is uncertain, though tends to run in families and is associated with several different genes, though studies show family association may also be caused by similar diets. Geographic tongue is more commonly found in people who are affected by environmental sensitivity, such as allergies, eczema, and asthma. Some think that it may be linked to stress or diets high in sugar or processed foods.[citation needed] Its prevalence also varies by nationality (0.6% of Americans, 4% of young Iraqis, 2% of young Finns) and gender (females affected three times more than males). Causes vary, but may include vitamin B deficiencies, allergies, and hormonal changes. Geographic tongue is said to occur more often in women, especially during high hormonal times such as during ovulation or pregnancy, and while taking birth control (generally around the 17th day).

So, I have it now (I believe) and it feels like I’ve eaten too many sour lollies. Its more annoying than painful. Is it common in pregnancy? Im 10 weeks, and I’ve been suffering from this for about 1 week (after I ate sour lollies but it just never went away). Is there any home remedies? Or should I see my doctor for treatment?

Thanks :)

    I’ve had it before on several occasions, but I can’t remember if I was pregnant at the time. It should go away on its own after a couple more days. Don’t stress.
