Hello I was just wondering if anyone else get really really thirsty all the time like me.

This is my 5th pregnancy and my last baby is 11mths old.

With the first 3 I was fine.

With the last one I was always thirsty but right from very early. I did have very boardline GD in the later stages of pregnancy and at around 16 weeks I was admitted to hospital with dehdration although no one could worl out why I was as I was drinking water like a fish.

Well I am 9 weeks pregnant now and have already done a 2 hour glucose test which came up neg but I am always so very thirsty, my lips are very dry I eat ice and drink water all day. has anyone else experienced this or know why I might be like this.
I f so I would love to hear about it. I feel like I am going mad drinking so much all the time.

I drink crazy amounts of water and eat stupid amounts of ice! My gd test was normal...... I have been the same through the whole pregnancy!

With my most recent pregnancy, i was drinking around 2.5-3 litres of water a day, and would go through about 3-4 trays of ice blocks too. Though i was pregnant at the height of summer. I just couldn't get enough of it. No GD here either. If you're concerned, chat to your care provider about it and see if they have any concerns. I'd probably put it down to your body just really needing the hydration.
