Excess saliva in pregnancy . drooling at random especially when eating weirdly never when asleep . is. this common ? especially the drool? obgyn said shes never heard of it ?! yet online it seems common ? feel like im conscious of drooling ?

Excess saliva production in pregnancy can be due to hormone production, nausea and heartburn. While there is no effective treatment, increasing the swallowing reflex can help. Ways to do this: chew gum, brush teeth often with minty toothpaste, eating or drinking (lots of water intake!). This symptom typically resolves within the first trimester.
