SO THIRSTY!

I don't think I've ever felt so dehydrated, even though I've upped my liquid intake as much as I possibly can without throwing up all over myself. :/ I read about trying to eat fruits with lots of juice instead to help, so I've stocked up on watermelon and apples because I love those. I've also bought gingersnaps so I can try and drink more without feeling so nauseated. And carrying chapstick is making it less frustrating. Anyone else as thirsty as me?

    I am! I can't stay out of the bathroom, but I'm soooo thirsty all the time. My mouth and eyes feel dry. I was wondering about allergies - but could it be pregnancy?

    I'm definitely there.  I feel like I'm getting a drink of water, and two minutes later needing another one.  So glad I'm not the only one feeling the dehydration.

    I am also very thirsty all the time and also frequently urinating. My sister who is a mommy has been advising me, and she says this is normal. So I just make sure to always have lots of water, and ginger tea and giner ale is helping me with my nausea.

    Same here! I'm starting to feel like a fish! A good friend of mine was the same way. She was super thirsty all the way through her pregnancy.

    So I am!!! I thought I was the only one. I'm drinking close to 4 liters of water a day, or more, and still feel parched when I go to bed and wake up. Guess we all have thirsty litter buggers growing inside of us! Big Smile

    Ah I am so glad someone else is EXTREMELY THIRSTY I thought I was crazy for being so thirsty. I am not a water drinker at all and that is all I have been wanting. I found that sour lemon drops and hard peppermint candy helps a little with my nausea and being thristy problem and like you said the chapstick is a must.

    ME TOO!!! I'm 5.5 weeks pregnant and have been sooooooooooo thirsty all the time! It seems like I never quite feel refreshed and I'm having to pee all the time! The worst is running, the dryness doesn't help here!  I'm hoping it'll go away. I basically have switched completely to water only as my beverage, and I'm making sure I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and small snacks throughout the day!

    Lets hope this goes away soon! but you're not alone!

    I started switching to healthier eating habits a few months ago. I try to drink 4 16.0oz bottles of water a day. However, I have felt so thirsty the last couple of weeks. I've had to up the amount of water I take on some days, because my mouth is so dry.

    I've been drinking liquids like crazy.  Ginger ale, water, ginger tea, and chapstick is definitely a must.  It almost feels like I'm trying to get sick, I'm hot, but I'm cold, I'm dehydrated, and I'm tired all the time.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who can't get enough water!  My lips are so chapped and I can't sleep at night because my mouth is so dry, not to mention the countless trips to the bathroom!  This must be practice for when the baby actually comes and I have to get up at all hours of the night. I brought 3 liters of water to work today so I'm hoping that will make a positive difference!  Hang in there everybody!

    The weirdest part for me is feeling really bloated because I'm drinking so much water but still being hungry for food. Usually, bloated and feeling full go together. However, I do find that when I keep up with the water that I have less cramping.

    Oh my gosh I have been soooo worried about how thirsty I am! I am 5 weeks and this symptom just started a couple days ago. I see that others are also urinating frequently but I don't really see much of a change in how much or how often I urinate. This makes me this that I am just really that dehydrated. Should I be worried that I am really not peeing that much but still drinking all this water?

    Glad I am not the only one!  :)  I am SSSOO thirsty and can't seem to get enough water, it is all I want.  That is also probably why I feel like I already have a belly, it's just full of water!!! :)  Hang in there everyone and congratulations!!!!

    I'm not alone! Thank goodness.  I have always been big on water.  Pre-pregnancy I would consume nearly a gallon of water a day.  Now I can't seem to get enough of the stuff, and when I do, my stomach revolts!  It's as if I'm suffering from a baby hangover.   I have been consuming ginger ale to settle things down, but was beginning to be concerned about my sugar intake.  Thanks for the tips about ginger tea.

    Last week I was SUPER thirsty all the time.....to the point that it was becoming very fustrating AND annoying.  I kept waking up with a very dry mouth and I would down bottles of water in the middle of the night.  I started drinking a bottle of water every night before bed and I guess that helped because it seems to have gone away.
