Excessive Salivation and Urination

Why am I salivating so much

Ptyalism or excessive saliva is a common symptom of pregnancy. It is more common in women suffering from morning sickness and disappears after a few months. Though unpleasant, it is completely harmless.

Why am I urinating so much

During pregnancy, your kidneys work more efficiently, there is a substantial increase in the volume of body fluids, ridding the body more quickly of waste products. At this stage the growing uterus is in the pelvis next to the bladder, leading to an increase in urinary frequency. This will continue until the 3rd month or until the uterus rises into the abdominal cavity. Only to return in the 9th month.

Is it true that some people do not urinate that much

If a person ordinarily urinates often, there might not be an obvious difference. Another factor could be the lack of enough fluid intake. If you are not having at least 8 glasses of liquid a day, you could be susceptible to a urinary tract infection.
