Dry and chopped lips
I m 21 weeks pregnant and I have been experiencing dry lips since last few weeks. Now since 8-10 days I am seeing that the dryness has expanded from lips to mouth and tongue. Now I m having difficulty in having food .. it's burning .. I live in Pune and the weather is quite dry here.
Everyday when I wake up I find myself breathing from mouth and that results in throat dryness everyday .
I m very worried.. is this something serious. I have attached pics.
