Anyone Else? Extremely Thirsty and other weird things.

amp61470 · August 2015

Hey Ladies, trying to google but not getting anything. Now first off it is hot here, so today I have done very little. I have been laying down and had my feet up. I have been drinking water all day yet I can't get rid of the thirsty feeling. My right foot is swollen and almost stiff and I am short of breath. The baby is moving so I don't think there is anything wrong there. I have been to the bathroom about 4 times in the last hour and a half. I don't want to panic and run to the hospital for the 3rd time, and am just checking to see if anyone else is feeling the same way. Thanks.

I have had an insatiable thirst for the past two weeks. I am drinking water juice, milk and soda like it's going out of style. I am going to the bathroom around 12 times a day. It's not fun but not worried.

I feel that way sometimes, minus the swollen foot. Try a high protein meal to shake the breathlessness. Otherwise I would continue to drink water and rest.

If your swollen foot is accompanied with redness or pain in your leg anywhere, however, you should at least call and speak with someone to see if you needed to come in.

I second that! Extremely thirsty this week for some reason.

I can't get enough water and other liquids. Just constant thirst. Which makes me go pee almost every 15 minutes, no exaggeration.

I've been having thirst issues as well, and my doctor said it's because it's so hot that water is going thro me too fast. she has me drinking Gatorade when I feel too thirsty, and it seems to help.

I can't get enough ice water and fruit! My appetite is way down and swollen feet are just a part of pregnancy for us lucky ones!

Sooo thirsty and swollen right ankle from time to time. Baby has been bouncing up a storm so I am confident everything is just fine, just sooo thirsty.

Thank you ladies, the thirsty thing was what was bothering me. I mean more thirsty then I have ever been!

Me tooooooo!!!! Sooo thirsty it's like I can't drink enough to keep up with it! I've been drinking coconut water and water like crazy !

YES! I can't get enough to drink and then I am peeing at least once an hour, unless LO decides to put extra pressure on my bladder. OY! I feel swollen and tight but everyone else thinks my feet and hands look normal. Just keep tabs on how much you're swelling.

The foot seems to be getting bigger as the day goes on and I have been laying down most of the day. I have had swelling since like 16 weeks but usually on my left foot that I broke in January and if I have been on my feet. Trying to keep it up and if it doesn't get better I am going to soak it in cold water as it may be heat related. If that doesn't help I will call the doctor. I don't take chances with this little one.

I have been crazy thirsty lately too! It drives me crazy...I am thirsty so I drink, and then I have to pee, and then I am thirsty.....it seems like a never ending cycle! I find that I am most thirsty after 8pm and that really sucks because then I am up peeing all freaking night.

I am always thirsty and swollen lol and bc I drink so much water I have to pee constantly and start getting Braxton hicks and shortness of breath when I hold Mt pee too long it sucks lol

I die of thirst during the night and it makes it so much worse because I know if I start chugging water that I'm just going to pee 10 more times!

You ladies might be getting a little low in iron. A common sign of low iron is craving ice and cold drinks and being tired. I've had these symptoms off and on and it was really bad when I wasn't taking a vitamin with iron (like the gummies). So make sure you're taking iron everyday and eating red meat a couple of times a week. Hope that helps, though it takes several days to notice a difference.

Idk if is the same, but I never drink coke or soda in general (like never). Well I had a stomach bug last week and the only thing that felt good was ginger ale or ice cold Coca-Cola. Ever since then I have been craving it like non stop. I know it is absolutely horrible, but Idk what is up. Like I even bought a 20oz of it for my lunch the other day. I felt horrible drinking it, but it has been my strongest craving and I really have to keep myself in check about it. I just want it all the time...

Apple juice, lemonade and water. That's what I want.

It's been so hot here too yesterday was awful (35 weeks) we took the dogs on a hike and to the dog park then the river. We took them to petsmart to get cleaned up and did some shopping. I've been behind thirsty lately. Yesterday I was in agony when we finally got home. Which was not normal I've been hiking walking lots of activities my whole pregnancy and have had no issues. I put my feet on ice packs took a bath nothing helped. I pee so much even if I don't drink a lot. I want nothing but this baby out of me lol

I noticed with me if I drink 1 cup of coffee or even one soda I have to drink water the rest of the day or I will feel so dehydrated in the middle of the night I won't be able to sleep. And nothing compares to water. It's all I want to drink. If I add anything to the water to make it taste better, it just makes me more thursty.
