Just wondering how many mummies here experience over production of saliva as one of your symptoms during pregnancy? It happens to me for both my pregnancy and I’m at week 20 for my no.2, and it annoys the hell out of me.
Any tips on reducing the production?
Yes, it's normal to have more saliva when you're pregnant. Excessive salivation is called ptyalism, or sialorrhea, and the condition won't affect your baby.
Here’s what could help
Chewing on ice.
Using a minty mouthwash.
Brushing your teeth often with a minty toothpaste — it's also good for dental care, which is extra important during pregnancy.
Chewing sugarless gum.
Eating or drinking something sour, like sucking on lemon slices.
