You're not imagining it — it's normal to have more saliva when you're pregnant. You may be producing more or swallowing less — or a combination of the two. Hormonal changes, nausea, and heartburn can all cause you to salivate more during pregnancy. To cope, try brushing your teeth more often, eat small and balanced meals, and drink plenty of water. Also, sucking on hard candy or chewing gum may help you swallow.
Up to half of women experience constipation at some point during pregnancy. This happens because pregnancy hormones relax smooth muscles in the body, which means food moves through your system more slowly. You can combat constipation by eating high-fiber foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes , drinking plenty of water, exercising, trying a different prenatal vitamin, and always going to the bathroom when you feel the urge.
Heartburn also known as acid indigestion or acid reflux is a burning sensation between the lower throat and the bottom of the breastbone. It's very uncomfortable and unfortunately unavoidable for some expecting moms. There are a number of things you can do to reduce heartburn: avoid food and drinks that upset your stomach, eat smaller meals, drink water in between meals instead of with them, chew gum, sleep propped up, and don't eat within two or three hours of bedtime.
