Postpartum bad breath?

Is there anyone else suffering from really bad breath after pregnancy? Mine is really bad even not long after I have brushed and flossed. It’s awful, my hubby keeps bringing it up and it’s making me feel horrible! I haven’t had this issue before and my dentist says I have good oral hygiene so don’t know what’s going on 😭
