dry mouth during pregnancy

[hayleylea]

Hi guys. has anyone else experienced a realy dry mouth during pregnancy (mainly of a night?) if so is there ANYTHING you can take to help it???

Thanks in advance.

it can be a sign of dehydration, I get it when I havn't drunk enough water throughout the day

how much water are you drinking in a 24hr period, I can't go to bed without water beside my bed while preg, I would probably drink close to 2lts a day of water

yeah thanks. I know it can be a sign of dehydration but i drink ALL Day...its only really at night time. Had it with my first too. I have heard that you can take something thats safe during pregnancy to neutrilise siliva or something like that?? Ill have to ask my doc when i go to him!

I have a drink next to me all day and am forever filling it up..

yes I have been lately! And now my lips are chapped as well! I think it may be the weather though. I dont know of anything that helps..I just keep a bottle of water with me at all times even one next to my bed at night! If you find a magic cure please let me know :thumbsup:

I got sick and tired of having a dry mouth when i was pg with DD, i used to sleep with a sugarfree lolly in my mouth, not the best from the dentist point of view...but it helped my dry mouth!!
