is excessive thirst normal?

Question

So I'm extremely new to this lol and I have no idea what's normal and what should concern me. I have been so unbelievably thirsty. I'm drinking like 10+ 16oz bottles of water a day and just keep wanting more. Like I just can't get enough. I've tried drinking some Gatorade and pedialyte and it helps a tiny bit, but not much. Is this normal? Is there a way to get it under control?

Answer

How far along are you? Excessive thirst can be a first sign of diabetes.

Answer

What they said. I'm in the same boat and failed both glucose tests. Not by much so I'm not on insulin but the diabetes center put me on a special diet and I check my blood sugar after each meal.

Answer

That's really excessive luv. Cut excess sugar, added sugar and processed foods from your diet. You could have gestational diabetes. Call your md after the holiday.

Answer

I'd just try and get your blood sugar checked. It could be a million things, but if it's diabetes symptoms you'll want to start managing it as soon as possible.

Answer

I was like this a lot the first trimester and it wasn't a sign of diabetes for me. Doctor just said as long as you are giving in and drinking water maybe it's just your body's way of telling you to drink more water than you did before pregnancy. Make sure you are peeing it out too, otherwise that could be an issue.

Answer

I drink a gallon a day but not because I'm crazy thirsty, it's because that's the appropriate amount daily during pregnancy.

Answer

I feel like this too. Just feel thirsty all the time 😬
