This sounds so weird but lately I keep getting extra saliva in my mouth, like even drooling a little in sleep. Never had this before and im suspecting pregnancy. Is this actually a sign na or am I overthinking?
Our bodies go through so many miraculous changes to bring a soul into this world, and excess saliva is just one of them. Stay positive and take care of your hydration during this time. Keep your thoughts beautiful and trust that everything is going perfectly.
Yes, it is a very common symptom called ptyalism. My mother-in-law said it's because of body heat and told me to chew fennel seeds, but our doctor reassured us it's just pregnancy hormones changing how salivary glands work. Nothing to worry about, just keep sipping water.
After everything we went through to finally get pregnant, every little symptom used to make me so anxious. But yes, excessive saliva and drooling is a completely normal, gentle sign that your pregnancy hormones are rising. Be kind to yourself, this too shall pass.
Oh my god, I woke up with my pillow completely wet in my first trimester and panicked so much! I thought I had some nerve issue, but it turns out ptyalism is a super common pregnancy thing. It's totally harmless, but don't worry, you are not alone in this weirdness!
When I was staying at my mum's house during my first trimester, she noticed I was spitting and drooling a lot at night. She lovingly kept a bowl of roasted cumin and saunf by my bed, which really helped settle my mouth. It's just a sweet, albeit messy, part of early pregnancy.
I just delivered my baby a few weeks ago and honestly, the drooling was so real during my first 12 weeks! My mouth was constantly full of saliva, especially when I felt nauseated. Chewing sugarless gum really helped me manage it, it gets better soon.
