What causes spitting during pregnancy?

Pregnant women have excessive saliva, which brings some unnecessary troubles to their normal life. Therefore, many pregnant women worry about the cause of their excessive saliva. In fact, increased saliva is also a common physiological phenomenon during pregnancy. Because the body's metabolism and blood circulation accelerate after pregnancy, the secretion of glands in the mouth is directly accelerated, and the secretion of saliva naturally increases.

Of course, intestinal discomfort caused by pregnancy, such as indigestion, nausea, vomiting, intestinal flatulence, etc., will also indirectly affect the secretion rate of the glands in the mouth. Pregnant women drool a lot in the early stages of pregnancy because of morning sickness. This condition usually begins to disappear after a few months of pregnancy. Generally, pregnant women with severe morning sickness have more obvious drooling.

Increased drooling has certain family genetic reasons and certain psychological factors. Some pregnant women become nervous when their drooling increases and often go to the hospital for treatment. In fact, there is no need to worry about it. Sometimes it will naturally ease after a few days; sometimes it will last longer, but generally it will stop naturally after the pregnancy ends. When drooling increases, pregnant women should distract themselves by going for a walk, listening to music, or doing some light housework, which can sometimes help to alleviate the symptoms. Eat less starchy foods that stimulate saliva secretion.
