I noticed after crying, my tears weren't salty. I didn't know if that's something to be alarmed about. Does anyone know? I can't find anything on-line. I'm also 4 months pregant, can that have something to do with it? Any information will help. Thanks

I forgot to mention something. Since a lot of you think I'm depressed. My hubby is fighting the war. Everytime he calls I get a little emotional. I am very happy and not depressed! Plus pregnant woman have raging hormones. That was the first time I actually cried in 2 months. I think my body needed it. Sorry. Thanks again for all your help and answers.

Maybe they just don't taste salty. Did you know that your taste-buds change during pregnancy? I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, I'm sure you're just fine ;-)

Its a hypothesis only: that since the mother's womb is filled with water it may be shifting the balance of sodium and potasium present in other areas of a pregnant mother's body- such as in tears or saliva. ....Its important that salt in tears exist for cleansing the eye so you may want to check with an optimologist to be sure its not something potentially more serious...hopefully its just a temporary situation that will go back to normal balance (or stasis) in your body once your baby is born.

hey, i dont think the tears do anything with pregnancy coz the only tears you get from pregnancy is the ones from down below and besides thats before birth. I think you may be suffering from depression because pregnancy can affect someone's emotions and feelings. But since you are pregnant, i hope you are happy! pregnancy is a happy thing, and i hope you have a great baby:D

I don't think that's anything to worry about, maybe they aren't as salty as they used to be or it's just an impression that they are less salty.
But stop tasting your tears! I wish you all the best.

It's not bad if your tears aren't salty. If your tears are salty, your eyes will be burning because of the salt. Do you notice that when you sweat and the moisture gets in your eyes, it will cause your eyes to burn? That's because your skin will excrete salt through your skin.

OMG!!!! your tears aren't salty!!!! How is this posssible! You have what is know as tearsarentsalty syndrom. This is a very strange problem next your eyelashes will fal out then, the hair on your head. You will have to live like that. Oh, and your baby will be a monkey.
Ok on a serious note, I am sure it is nothing. Talk to a docoter.

Youve been crying too long maybe. Stop crying, your pregnant. If youre depressed, you should tell your doctor about it so that you can be put on some Zoloft.
