you can have that type of thing in pregnancy, but it shouldn't be that much.
I think you should tell your dr...just in case.

Thats one of the most obvious signs of pregnancy.
But could be other things too.
I pee that much sometimes and I'm not pregnant.

Horrible taste - sorry, yes, that's not uncommon in the first 3 months of pregnancy. I ate a lime picke sandwitch to try to get rid of the taste during one pregnancy. It didn't really work. Some people get hyper-sensitive to smells too.

Peeing that much - I think it's also fairly normal, but won't last the whole of the pregnancy. I remember a meal out with a pregnant friend - we hardly saw her, because she was constantly heading off to the toilet. Do see your health professional if you're worried, though.

I had to pee constantly throughout my whole pregnancy. Then towards the end, when she was so big and so low, she would stop the flow of my urine. It was horrible because I would have to go so badly and she was pressing on something that wouldn't let it flow!!
As long as it doesn't burn when you pee, and there is really urine coming out, then it probably isn't a UTI. If you're worried you can always goto the doctor they're probably testing you're urine at every appointment as it is so it would be easy for them to tell for sure if you do have a UTI.
As far as the taste in your mouth, I didn't have that problem, and I never heard of it until now but flossheal makes sense. It's just that your senses are more sensitive now that you're pregnant. Maybe try carrying mints around with you and when it really starts to bother you, suck on one to try to cover the taste.

Hope that helped a little.
Congratulations and Good Luck!
