Choking on your own spit.

kimbo319kimbo319
in 3rd Trimester

is anyone else doing this more often since being pregnant.  It drives my husband crazy.  He says I cough too much, but I'm choking on my spit.  He says he's never heard of that before.

Am I the weird one?  Or is he for not knowing this happens?

    Girl, I am the poster child for this right now!

    It seems I have a lot more spit than usual. I could be mid sentence and start choking. Glad I'm not the only one.

    I have some serious post-nasel drip and I cough and gag on it all the time. He is the mis informed one.

    Yes.  It happens more often than I care to admit.  I also still have issues with too much spit in the final interval of my sonicare toothbrush cycle- and usually have to end the cycle early before I gag or vom on my own spit.

    Glad I'm not alone.  Hopefully it will go away shortly after baby arrives.

    Actually you may know me from my work with Tom Hanks. 

    Critically panned, but did marginally well at the box office.

    Yes!  I did this nearly every day in my 2nd trimester.  I got a new office chair and it helped.

    All.the.time.

    I have to consciously eat food sometimes, too. If I just eat quickly, when I'm extra hungry or if the food is amazing, I choke pretty easily, too.

    Not only choking on my spit, I'm choking on my reflux at night.  I have to be very conscious of what and when I eat at night.  I was up nearly all night Sunday because I ate dinner too late.  Even propped myself up in bed and still felt like I was drowning.

    I've been like that since I got pregnant-I think that having so much spit is part of what made me have m/s so bad.And at night I drool so much,I actually wake up because the side of my face is wet...ugh
