Reading about this thing where mouth keeps making extra spit and it sounds so weird haha. I havent felt it yet, im only 7 weeks. Does it come with the nausea phase ya later?
My saas told me it's very common early on and suggested sucking on a small piece of amla or a lemon wedge. It actually worked wonders to control that constant spit feeling and also helped with my morning nausea.
Yes, it's very normal! It usually kicks in around the 1st or 2nd month and can be annoying, but it's just a phase. Sucking on ice cubes or sour candies worked beautifully for me. Keep smiling, you've got this!
Wow, I am currently planning my pregnancy and had no idea excess saliva was even a thing! Is it really common in the first few weeks, or does it start later? Learning so much from you guys.
Oh god, this started for me in the first trimester itself and honestly, I felt like a human fountain! I'm in my third trimester now and still carry a spit bottle or keep chewing gum to manage it. It's exhausting but hey, at least it keeps you hydrated!
For me, it started around week 6 and went away by the end of the first trimester. Don't worry, it is just your hormones acting up and it won't hurt the baby. Try chewing on some mint leaves or cardamom (elaichi), it really helped me.
This usually happens in the first trimester alongside morning sickness due to hormonal fluctuations. My doctor at the clinic suggested using a mild alcohol-free mouthwash and chewing sugarless gum. Do check with your hospital's obstetrician if it makes you feel too nauseated.
I didn't know this was a symptom until recently. It sounds a bit uncomfortable but I'm trying to learn about all these changes. I hope it gets easier for you to manage.
Haha, with twins, I had double the hormones and double the drool! It started almost immediately in my first month. Carrying a small hand towel and chewing on mint became my full-time job for a few weeks.
