Is thrush tongue a pregnancy symptom?

No: Thrush is a fungal infection on your tongue that needs to be treated. It can occur when your immune system is low, if you are using a steroid inhaler for asthma, i very young and very old. It is not a sign of pregnancy. See your dentist for treatment.

Not Really: Thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth, usually affecting the tongue primarily. It can happen to anyone at pretty much any time...Just like a viral or bacterial infection. Most often, however, it strikes when you are already a bit sick, your immune system is somewhat compromised, or you are taking medications which change the balance of organisms within your mouth. It's not a sign of pregnancy.
