Terrible dry mouth at 14 weeks

[whereisthewitch]

I have been unable to sleep well these past few nights due to an unbelievably dry mouth! I wake up and can't swallow well and have that white stuff all over my lips! Last night I drunk 2 bottles of water!

Has anyone else had this? I have a blocked nose so an probably breathing through my mouth more but I've never had dry mouth this bad!!

I had this during my pregnancy. I was terrified that I had gestational diabetes as it can be a symptom. Midwife suggested thrush which id been suffering from. It is also a common symptom of pregnancy. I had it for a couple of weeks and then it disappeared. There is a mouth wash suitable for use in pregnancy that can help.

I was really thirsty all through my pregnancy, drank more in those 9 months than I have in my entire life !

I had this too! I take a huge bottle of water to bed with me now. It has improved though, I'm now 25 weeks and not getting it as much.
