I hate to spit but recently I spit a lot; I was wondering is that a sign of pregnancy?

Yes, it's a pregnancy symptom. I get this every time I'm pregnant and it's really annoying and uncomfortable.
Pregnancy hormones cause you to produce more saliva, and also if you are nauseous with morning sickness you might be swallowing less, thus more spit builds up in your mouth.
The excess saliva started in the 2nd month and went away for me in the 4th month. My midwife told me to try sugar-free gum, but it did not help dry my mouth up, it just made the spit taste minty fresh! lol

Unfortunately it is all too common in early pregnancy! I get it terribly and have to keep spitting or the bland spit taste of it makes me want to throw up. I also get a metallic kind of taste in my mouth and have to keep eating lollies (candy) to stop it! Thankfully it does go away...although I am now 20 weeks and sitting here with excess spit in my mouth for the first time in ages. Have to go spit it out! Good luck to you.

I do not know if it is a sign of pregnancy. But some people do have a lot of saliva and it make them sick to their stomach to swell so they spit, you can check with you doctor

I never got the excess saliva nor did I get the cravings while I was pregnant. I must be weird
