But did you also know about excessive saliva in pregnancy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-does-excessive-saliva-start-and-end\">When Does Excessive Saliva Start and End?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Increased pregnancy saliva is also known as<strong> <\/strong>ptyalism gravidarum or hypersalivation or sialorrhea. This is a rarely talked about odd pregnancy symptom. It is most common during the early stages of your pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going deeper, you might salivate more during the first trimester and along with the first few symptoms of pregnancy &#8211; nausea, and vomiting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nct.org.uk\/pregnancy\/worries-and-discomforts\/common-discomforts\/excessive-saliva-pregnancy\">At this stage<\/a> you may even need to spit it out. When you spit out, your saliva\u2019s bitter taste can make you feel more nauseous. As you step into the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy, you might feel like salivating more. Although the condition may not harm the growing baby in your womb, you cannot expect you to stop salivating before you have delivered your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-causes-pregnancy-hypersalivation\">What Causes Pregnancy Hypersalivation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The real reason behind excessive salivation during pregnancy may not be entirely known, however, some of the possible causes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hormonal-changes\">Hormonal Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blame it on the soaring hormones that make you salivate more in the early stages of your pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"feeling-nauseous\">Feeling Nauseous<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you feel nauseous, you tend to eat less. This can build up more saliva in your mouth. That extra saliva may build up in your mouth and there are chances that it will add up to your queasiness. Moreover, ptyalism gravidarum is common in those of you who are suffering from a severe form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/phases-of-morning-sickness\/\">morning sickness<\/a> or hyperemesis gravidarum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"exposure-to-certain-chemicals\">Exposure to Certain Chemicals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you expose yourself to irritants, like smoke, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/firecrackers-harmful-pregnant-women\/\">fumes<\/a>, or toxins like mercury and pesticides, it may give rise to excessive saliva during your pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"oral-health-issues\">Oral Health Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral cavity problems including tooth decay or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/dental-care-pregnancy\/\">dental cavity<\/a> causes oral infection.

In this condition, you might produce excess saliva, especially in the latter stage of your pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-deal-with-increased-saliva-in-pregnancy\">How To Deal With Increased Saliva In Pregnancy?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well! We know that excessive salivation in pregnancy may seem a little embarrassing, but try not to worry about it. As there are ways that you can reduce the tendency of producing more saliva in pregnancy. The ways are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Drink lots of water.
