She got the BFP and took over the world
She enjoyed every part of the day and night
She whispered to herself “can these nine months drag by?”
Then there comes a day when everything changed
What could be the cause of this?
Why does it feel this way?
She became helpless as there’s no remedy to this pregnancy symptom
She could hardly mumble a sentence without the accumulation of spit
The saliva retention spree starts with every closure of her mouth
At the opening of her mouth comes the little ocean she’s kept
She was told it’s only gonna last for a couple of weeks
Yass, I can do this, lemme wait it out, the first trimester will soon be over, she said to herself
She decided to get a spitting-can to save herself from the preying eyes
Wherever she goes, she goes with her saving grace
Alas! It’s her 15th week of pregnancy
But this symptom seem not to be leaving her
It could only get stronger, she says
Second trimester is the best, they say
But everything was cut short by this embarrassing ptyalism
The ocean in her mouth never dries up
She even wakes up to a drooling mouth...
Well, some women have this symptom all through their pregnancy, maybe she’s one of them
She kept herself busy with the counting of weeks
It’ll soon be over!!!
But then, how soon is soon???
No one can really tell except the one who’s got to wait
