When does excess saliva stop in pregnancy?

Question

I'm having a lot of excessive saliva, especially in the mornings. It's quite bothersome, when does this symptom usually go away in pregnancy?

It is really annoying but mostly stops after the 3rd or 4th month. Keep some hard candies or fennel seeds handy, it helps.

Just delivered last month! My excess saliva issue finally cleared up around week 14. Chewing sugar-free mint chewing gums was my ultimate lifesaver during those weeks.

I felt so gross and frustrated with this spitting thing in my first trimester. For me, it started fading by week 16 and I literally cried with relief when it was finally gone.

With twins, my hormones were double, so my saliva gland was like a running tap till month 5, haha! Keep spitting, stay hydrated, it will pass, momma!

Ugh, this ruined my initial food cravings so badly! It mostly gets better around week 13-14, after which I could finally enjoy my favorite street food without that weird taste.
