TTMA Dry Mouth

Hey ladies!! So I'm now "suffering" from dry mouth - started maybe Thursday AM. Of course I consulted Dr. Google for pregnancy safe mouth washes and the recommended one for use during pregnancy (Orazyme), is all sold out online and I can't find it locally. I've been trying to see if Biotene is safe during pregnancy but it's resulting in mixed reviews, mostly saying consult your doctor first. I've thought about calling my dentist, but I don't want them to know I'm pregnant just yet (last time I had to disclose it early, 5w, b/c of X-rays and it resulted in a loss so I'm keeping this one a little close for now). I might end up calling the OB's office but wanted to see what you ladies have to say first

Anyway, anyone have dry mouth? If so, what are you using?

Biotene is pretty gentle, and it's not like you're swallowing it. I feel like it's probably ok for occasional use.

For whatever reason with my 2nd pregnancy, I had dry mouth and a sort of lingering foul taste. Lemonheads were a life saver. Totally worked

I've had dry mouth since before I found out I was pregnant. It was one of the first symptoms I had. I just enjoy some hard candies and drink lots of fluids. I use it as a reminder to drink more,

I have to try this! This is the third pregnancy I have had wicked dry mouth. Drinking 100 oz. of water a day to help it leads to no good.

!!!!! I thought that I must just be suddenly consuming way too much salt! Completely forgot about pregnancy dry mouth! Adding lemonheads to my shopping list now.

I've had lemonheads at the ready for awhile since it's helped with my sometimes nauseous feeling Thanks!

This! I always think it's a side effect of all of the salt I craze. I forget it's a symptom.
