My wife is 2 1/2 months pregnant and she spits alot does anyone know why and how she can stop spitting?

Update:

She does this at least every 15 second,. and she doesnt want to drink water cause it grosses her out, every food does too. She hardly eats. But why the spit, and its foamy.

    Pregnant women produce more saliva. Its a normal side affect of pregnancy. I'd be more concerned about her not drinking water. I don't like water either but I make myself drink it. Maybe she can try those flavor packs that you put in your water. Some of them are really good. Or a wedge of lemon in her water bottle. Also, if you don't have one already get a water filter for your faucet or a filtered pitcher...made a huge difference in my water consumption.

    this question i very old but just to let people know that UNFORTUNATELY this thing is quite common in pregnancy.

    I m on my 1st pregnancy and 8 weeks. After vomiting this thing just started. You will be able to find out that some pregnant even spit 2 litres a day. SO it is not normal.... and the doctors guessed it is the womens hormonies but even they dont know....

    Just another wonderful side effect of pregnancy? I don't know WHY it happened to me though, but I was also really phlegmy too!! Gross I know. But there's a lot of weird stuff that happens with pregnancy! Have fun and Good Luck!!!!

    I did that when I was pregnant. The doctor said my body was gearing up production of fluids in my body. The pregnant body needs and retains a lot of water.

    Foamy is she rabid!! I'm just kidding!!!!!

    If she is nausiated alot that would be why she spits because she produces more saliva.
