Is anyone else so so thristy?! I drink all day and still want more water- and I'm peeing like a mad woman!

8411mommy · October 2014

Yes, but sadly water still leaves my mouth feeling dry. Boo

adorebel · October 2014

Yes! Last night I drank 3 tall glasses of water in a row and still felt thirsty! Then I had to get up to pee at EVERY commercial break while we were watching TV for an hour and twice again during the night.

I thought it was just me being weird... I didn't know that was a symptom but yes I've been parched and even chugging water leaves my mouth feeling dry!

willowprincess · October 2014

yep. Unfortunately water makes me sick. It's a bad cycle.

jmw46 · October 2014

Yes, I am constantly thirsty! I will finish a bottle of water and it still won't be enough. I am drinking a ton, and using the bathroom all day long! When I wake up in the morning my mouth is so try I can barely swallow.

This is me too. Thirsty non-stop. Doesn't matter how much I drink. Cotton mouth with this sour taste. Can't stand it.

First pregnancy, I drank at least 8 liters of water a day. Until morning sickness hit, and I couldn't keep tap water down.

Blessed4This · October 2014

Yes I drink so much H20.. Haha I love it though. . . It's conformation that I have a wee baby growing inside me

dojo1 · October 2014

me too and I'm so happy to hear others say this because i wasn't really thinking of it as a symptom and I'm starting to become neurotic thinking that I'm not pregnant anymore or something bad has happened due to lack of symptoms

thepancakes · October 2014

Yes! I have to keep a bottle by my bed because I wake up throughout the night desperately needing water.

djruba · October 2014

Oh My goodness yes, I'm Thirsty all the time. I can't stand room temperature water anymore, it has to be chilled or else I get even more nauseated. Chilled water with lemon wedges never tasted better.

I just wanted to let you know that on my Ovia app it says that this is one of the symptoms that warrants a call to your ob!

I think being thirsty this early on is very normal and not necessarily because of gestational diabetes. During my first pregnancy, before I even found out I was pregnant I was extremely thirsty and that day no amount of water could fix my thirst. It settled down after awhile and I always keep a water bottle with me now. There was nothing wrong with me, just my body needing more fluids to support the baby. I'm pretty thirsty again this time too.

Yeah I'm definitely not an expert but I "try" to help when I can...

toodaloo · October 2014

Me too!!! I even have to drink water at night...I am not sleeping well at all

I drink and drink and drink. I never stop. Milk or water. My last pregnancy was this way too. My skin looks awesome because of it! haha. I never drink enough in my regular life, so this is good.

TeacherMama7 · October 2014

Ok, so recently I have started drinking a lot lot lot more water too... All day and in the evening... Lots of trips to the bathroom! I always do a cheap internet pregnancy test in the morning, and the past couple have been a little lighter. They were really dark, and now they are still pretty dark but not quite as dark... Can this be because I'm drinking a lot if water?

TeacherMama7 · October 2014

Thank you! That makes me feel better!

Katerina&Baby · October 2014

Ditto! I'll generally don't drink a lot of fluids but these days I can't go more than a few hours without a GIANT glass of water.

catmagick · October 2014

Uhhhh I don't think any of us are far enough along to have GD. Also yes; give me all the water!! I am always like that anyway though so it's kind of crazy now!

MrsFriede · October 2014

Don't quote me on this, but our blood volume is increasing significantly (by 50% or more) and water is a huge component of blood, I think being thirsty is our body's way to get enough fluids to make all the extra blood, at least in early pregnancy. Just something I've thought about to explain the ridiculous thirst I've had.

areid10 · October 2014

So glad I'm not alone! And I have read it's a symptom to be worried about later on but normal for this early. The bathroom trips are killer- I don't mind drinking but work is getting hard with me running to tinkle every 20 minutes!

tachycardicdoll · October 2014

I got strawberry juice and pear juice and mix it So I don't get sick of just water all the time. I'm up going pee 20 times a night it feels like lol

cadwinning · October 2014

Yes! I just seriously grouched at my poor partner because I was SO thirsty. She dutifully stayed quiet and bought me exactly what I wanted (a fruit juice spritzer). LOL!
