no matter how much i drink, it isnt enough

ok before getting KU, i normally drank 8 cups of water a day, sometimes more. Now I am constantly thirsty drinking 10cups plus. I drink mostly water but got sick of it so now i add in decaf tea. It seems that no matter how much I drink it doesnt help. if i dont pee a lot during the day it seems like it all catches up with me at night and i am up several times.

I try and drink all my water before noon and then stop for the day. I have tried that the past few days and it seems to help. I end up going to the bathroom every 10 minutes in the afternoon but only 1-2 at night instead of 4-5.

I drink a ton of water too. Like 80 ounces a day and I still feel like I could drink more! I've always been a big water drinker but this is getting ridiculous.

You need plenty of water because your blood volume nearly doubles in early pregnancy. I have also been drinking constantly (otherwise I get the most awful dry mouth). Your amniotic fluid also begins to build. This makes a very large demand for water/fluid intake.

This was actually the only pregnancy "symptom" I experienced this time around. For the past week, I've just felt parched no matter how much water I drank. I don't remember feeling so thirsty with my last pregnancy.
