Does pregnancy make you extra thirsty?

I have been SO thirsty lately, I can't get enough water.  Is it the pregnancy that makes you thirsty or just a coincidence with the heat?

    It must be pregnancy, cause I am thirsty ALL the time!!!  Doesn't matter how much I drink, I always feel parched.  The worst is waking up at night and having the dry mouth.  That and the peeing wakes me up!

    The first seven weeks I was literally drinking a gallon a day and still feeling thirsty. It had nothing to do with 'forcing' myself to drink water - I craved it.

    Now I'm the exact opposite - water makes me puke. Have a tall glass of H2O for all those of us who can't right now!

    I've also been drinking a TON more water. I used to average 2-3 liters a day, now I'm usually doing 4-6 liters

    I noticed the thirst before I noticed the bump!  In fact, the thirst + the missed period sent me to the pregnancy test.  I am drinking about 100 oz a day.

    That's funny you posted this because I was wondering the same thing. I am drinking my city in to a drought I'm sure. I'm always so dehydrated just before bed and just after waking up!! I'm so tired to drinking water, but I feel like I need to have it all the time...

    I have to drink a lot more now...sometimes I really am thirsty and craving it, but really it's because if I don't drink enough I wake up with an awful headache in the morning.

    I'm thirsty all of the time too -- especially at night which sucks b/c then I'm waking up to pee all night, but I can't get enough water. 

    Good Question!

    Yep, I'm always drinking water too.

     There was one day that I kept drinking water and my mouth was still SO dry.. I finally switched and had a vitamin water... I think it was "multi".. it's got the blue label and tastes kind of like lemonade... a few sips of that and my mouth was no longer dry!

    I must've been low on some kind of vitamin or something.

    Excessive thirst was my very first pregnancy symptom at 8 DPO. I still feel thirsty and crave extremely cold ice water.

    Yes.  Excessive thirst was also something I noticed before the BFP.
