excessive saliva

daniecaw

Please tell me that I'm not the only one suffering from this. I'm 11w3d pregnant and I swear it is getting worse! It is to the point that I have to have something to spit into constantly all day and night. To top it off, if I swallow too much I throw it up. So gross, I know. Anybody else have a way of dealing with this?

My baby center app has excess saliva as today's article. It says you can:

-brush your teeth & use mouthwash several times a day

-eat smaller more frequent meals

-Make sure to drink plenty of water

-suck on hard candy to make it easier to swallow the saliva you produce. It says to avoid sour candies and gum, as they increase saliva

 

Good luck!

I only notice excessive saliva when I am heaving into the toilet.  I try to swallow a lot to stop the puking, but then I just puke bubbly spit.

Yes I have two bouts of major congestion due to excess saliva and mucus now.  I am not really drooling, but the only two times I have thrown up in my pregnancy I have actually thrown up extra mucus that had accumulated in my lungs.  Mine comes and goes a few weeks at a time.
