Excessive thirst? Should I be worried?

[KimmyLou]

Hi all, in the last week. I have found myself really thirsty. I am drinking approx 10 pints of water per day and still feel thirsty.
Has anyone else experienced this excessive type of thirst? I am not yet booked in with the mw as they failed to turn up to my booking in appointment on Wednesday.
Thanks in advance x

I had to drink 32oz every hour and half. So I think this is normal. Your blood volume triples in the first trimester.

I had that with my daughter, it wore of towards 2nd tri. xx

I've had it in this and last pregnancy, always normal for me!! Dr said it's normal : )

Its normal. Your blood volume increases during pregnancy so your body needs that extra liquid. Greater need = greater demand which in the case of fluids = thirst!

I'm hugely thirsty too, my mouth is always dry and I always feel thirsty. I had the same with my last pregnancy. Isn't nature clever making us thirsty so we drink more water! (Or squash in my case!) x

Thanks for your replies. I was never very thirsty with my other 2 pregnancies. They are boys so maybe this is a girl lol xx
