It sounds like you have a condition called ptyalism. It is not serious or dangerous for the pregnancy, but it can certainly be annoying. I give my patients the following link and agree with the following advise
-frequent small meals
-avoid too much starchy foods
-frequent small sips of water
-lots of protein snacks
-try saltines - works great for some people
