My mouth is constantly full of saliva and honestly its so annoying, didnt even know this was a pregnancy thing. Im 8 weeks. Does it go away after some time? Pls tell me it does.
For me, the excess saliva (ptyalism) went away around the 16th week. Carrying a small spit bottle or chewing sugar-free gum while at work really helped me manage it without losing focus.
I panicked so much thinking something was wrong with my mouth! But my doctor reassured me it's just a hormonal reaction. It completely vanished around week 13, so hang in there, it will stop soon.
According to my pregnancy tracker, excess salivation is often linked to nausea and acid reflux. For most women, it resolves by week 14-16 when hormones stabilize. Sucking on sour candies is a highly rated hack for this!
This excess spitting is so annoying! Mine stopped by the start of the second trimester. In the meantime, try rinsing your mouth with cold water or sucking on a small piece of lemon, it really helps control it cheaply.
I had this problem quite badly in my first trimester. It usually reduces as the morning sickness subsides, around 14 weeks. Drinking small sips of ginger tea helped soothe my mouth.
