Super thirsty...

[jeoestreich]

Has anyone else experience be super thirsty while in the first trimester? Oh course...I forgot to ask my doctor about this. I am about four or five weeks along right now. I just notice about five days ago, all of the sudden I am super thirsty. I pretty much am just drinking water right now and I can drink about four to six liters of water a day.

Think about all that extra blood supply your body is working on - totally normal to be thirsty... that takes a lot of fluid!

From what I can tell, it's pretty normal. I'm averaging about 2 liters a day of just plain water, but I also drink juice, milk and the occasional soda.

And I usually feel at least a little thirsty but I have to make sure I drink slowly throughout the day because the couple of times I've chugged something (due to thirst) it just comes right back up.

yep - very normal. I had/have to mix it with something because I can't stand plain water right now... which I know is odd, but a bit of lemon juice and I'm good to go!

I've been extremely thirsty basically this entire pregnancy! There have been a few days here and there when I don't feel the need to drink as much but those are not the norm! I was worried that it might be a sign of GD or something but I passed the screening just fine!

I even have a glass of water to drink throughout the night at my different wakings for the bathroom (yes, I know I'm working against myself here ). It was right next to my bed but we rearranged the bedroom and it got knocked over twice so now it's in the bathroom. I just take a swig or two of water before I head back to bed. Usually most of it is gone by morning. Last night I actually refilled it in the middle of the night!

Yep I've been drinking water like crazy! I also drink at least a glass in the middle of the night...I feel like I need to be drinking constantly!

I feel like a freaking camel. I hated drinking before getting pregnant - I could go the whole day without purposefully drinking anything (except maybe coffee). Now I drink at least a couple litres of water a day. Ridiculous.

BTW, if you're feeling thirsty, you're already dehydrated. So try to keep ahead of the thirst and drink proactively - it's a lot of work but you'll feel better.

I feel like I can drink and drink and drink. It feels like I cannot get enough. Ugh.

Thirsty throughout all three of my pregnancies but parched in the first tri. I felt like I was dying of thirst every minute of every day until I was about 14-16 weeks.
