Im in my first trimester and there is just SO much saliva in my mouth all day, i keep spitting and its honestly embarrassing at work. Nobody told me this was even a pregnancy thing. Did anyone else go through this and how did u manage?
I totally understand how irritating this feels, I felt so gross with it constantly. Brushing more often and keeping the mouth fresh gave me some relief mentally at least. You're doing great, it won't last the whole pregnancy.
Small things like nimbu paani, saunf, ginger water worked for me at home. But if you are spitting so much that you can't eat or drink properly, do mention it to your gynac, sometimes it links with too much vomiting.
Actually I just kept a small water bottle with me everywhere and sipped, plus mint chewing gum in my bag always. Trust me yaar it's temporary, mine got better after 14 weeks.
Oh god the extra saliva thing was so annoying for me in first trimester, nobody warns you about it. Sucking on a small piece of lemon or chewing saunf helped me a bit. It does settle once the nausea phase passes.
Keep sipping water through the day and chew some elaichi or sugarfree gum, it kept my mouth busy. It usually comes along with the nausea, so once that improves the saliva also reduces. Mine went by second trimester both times.
