Drool/Increased saliva


is there anything i can do about the excess saliva? holy crap! it's so bad i have resorted to carrying a plastic cup in the house so i can easily spit (sorry it's gross but getting up every 30 seconds to spit in the sink was tiresome!) I don't know where this excessive saliva came from, i am assuming it's due to pregnancy. I feel like total rubbish too i am really not enjoying myself

It's very common to have this in the first trimester, had it myself for a bit.......but it usually goes away by second tri....not much comfort for now though I know

Maybe just make sure you're drinking more water to drain it out faster? I'm not sure.

Yup way to much spitting going on, so far no one at work has noticed, but I did have to wait and held it in my mouth for a bit and was retching by the time I reached the loos.

Also have a cold and I'm convinced theres some snot in there too (TMI i know).

Ick Ick Ick!
