Question
I am eight months pregnant and have been feeling quite well, but today I suddenly noticed my mouth is very dry, and I keep wanting to drink water. Additionally, at night, I feel some breathlessness, as if I’m inhaling dust. I’m worried if this could affect my baby.
Answer
Feeling dry mouth and the urge to drink water in the late stages of pregnancy could be due to dry weather, so it’s recommended to increase water intake and maintain indoor humidity. Moreover, breathlessness might be caused by nasal discomfort. It’s advised to keep the indoor air circulating and try to avoid inhaling dust. If the situation does not improve, it’s suggested to visit the hospital for an ultrasound examination to ensure the baby’s health.
