After your pregnancy is over I would suggest talking to a doctor about getting your tonsils removed because it can get bad. I had problems with my tonsils and got them removed when I was 20 just before my son turned a year old. It was horrible but well worth it. My sister just got hers removed because her tonsil stones got so bad.

Do not use tweezers or a toothpick, you can give yourself a throat infection as your tonsils are very delicate tissue. Use a cotton swab and a flashlight, look in the mirror so you can see what your doing. Gently push your tonsils and they will easily come out. I know they are disgusting but many people have them and most don't even know they have them. You are more prone to getting them if you have deep pockets in your tonsils. Hope that helps. Also YouTube had some disgusting videos on how toremove

I also had this.  My doctor prescribed me antibiotics. I'm 23 weeks btw. They would sometimes come up while I was sleep and I would spit them out. It leaves a nasty taste and feels like I would be sick all day. It was irritating.  Before I would just goggle with warm salt water and put honey on it .

Carbonated soda kinda bubbles them out sometimes can works better. You can also gargle with salt water.
