Hi
Don't worry. This is a temporary symptom.
Usually subsides by 14 weeks pregnancy.
Try the following to make it easier to deal with.
Try chewing minty sugarless gum or suck on hard candies as these make swallowing easier.
Eat frequent small meals to avoid your stomach becoming empty as empty stomach can trigger nausea and salivation during pregnancy.
Cut back on sweets as sugar tends to increase salivation.
Drink plenty of water to make up for the fluid being lost as spit.
Lastly tooth diseases also increase salivation. So get a dental check up for yourself.
