Anyone else develop a lisp??

So I suddenly have developed something of a speech impedement.  I noticed it yesterday and again today.  I'm an Administrative Assistant so Im on the phone a lot and hearing myself talk is suddenly bizzare!

It's like I have too much saliva under my tongue. I know we produce more during pregnancy, but this is pretty sudden!  My face isn't swollen or anythign either.  Anyone with similar issues??

I don't have a lisp, but both times I've been pregnant I've noticed that my teeth have shifted a little bit.  I'm not sure what causes it... maybe my tongue is swollen?  Or maybe I'm doing something weird while I'm sleeping.

Well I plan on mentioning it at my appointment next week, but it's not something so severe that I actually worried about it being bad, it's just weird that's all!  And not something I have ever heard of happening.  Someone did just point out that I have had a lot of conference calls and have been running training sessions where I'm talking a lot and maybe tiring myself out.  Maybe it's just a lazy tongue, lol.

I definitely agree with @snow527 and give your doctors office a call.  Hopefully its just swelling but you want the doc to be able to rule out anything serious.

I drool a lot in my sleep.

Has this ever happened to you before? When you were really tired and/or spent a lot of time talking?

If not, I would at least call the office and ask. They may say it's no big deal. But changing speech patterns/muscle movement seems like it could be a bigger issue.

I have a little but it's because so many foods irritate my tounge and gums.  It's gotten better but I had garlicky chicken at my baby shower and my tounge was swollen and messed up for a week or more, so I talked a little funny.  If you don't feel anything different in your mouth, like a swollen tounge, I would definitely mention it to your doctor.

My tongue is definitely not swollen (I have had that happen before from allergic reactions - its impossible to eat!) its just a lot of saliva! I just called the doctors office anyway but they are not there . 

Wish I wasn't the only one experiencing this, but I really am not alarmed (and I'm a bit OCD, so thats sort of surprising!)

I've read that extra saliva is normal during pregnancy, so I wouldn't be concerned.

I definitely drool a lot now... kinda gross...

I swear I catch myself doing this sometimes but it's nothing bad. I am seeing a specialist soon though since I've been having problems with my jaw on the right side. I'm hoping it's nothing too bad and that it corrects itself after birth.

I've noticed some drooling too! Thanks guys, glad to know I'm not alone! As for the lisp, never heard of it but ya never know...some of these preggo symptoms are SO wacky!
