Is excess saliva a sign of pregnancy?

Question

Sangeeta Bhosale · Answer

It is a very common early sign. Try chewing a small piece of ginger or cardamom, but if it makes you feel too dehydrated, let your gynac know.

Kiran Solanki · Answer

Same here, had this a lot in my early weeks. Sucking on ice chips or drinking cold lemon water helped me control it.

Girija Gokhale · Answer

Yes, it's called ptyalism and it's quite common in early pregnancy. Just keep some sugar-free mints or chewing gum handy, it really helps.

Nidhi Guha · Answer

Yes actually, it is! I used to spit so much in my first trimester and it was so annoying yaar, but it went away by the fourth month.

Madhuri Phadke · Answer

It can be a symptom due to sudden hormonal changes, though everyone's body reacts differently. I had it too, just keep sharing all your symptoms with your doc.
