Extremely Thirsty

[tobeat2829]

For the past couple of weeks i have been extremely thirsty. Nothing seems to help. I drink around 5 16oz bottles of water a day plus juice. It seems i can never quench my thirst. Is anyone  else having this problem?

Same here, thirst and craving sweet stuff. Im even drinking water at night. I was told excessive thirst could be a sign of gestational diabetes...just keep very well-hydrated, gd is hard to diagnose with just this single symptom, so i wouldnt worry just yet but mention it to your midwife.

Im 26 weeks also. It seems all I want is to stay hydrated and sweets. Ive been doing ok with weight gain so far butni have a feeling this last trimester  is going to be tough

I have the same problem, it's like if I don't drink all day every minute I have cotton mouth..it's that bad. And I drink almost 100oz+ per day! I told my Ob and she said baby is just asking for more, and even though I drink enough, I have no choice but to drink more. I just started mixing my drinks up more. I find drinking hot tea helps some, but then when I'm done drinking I still drink water. I just actually tried sucking hard candy so that I'm keepping saliva generating and it helps so I'm not always running for water...but there isn't a solution I don't think..only thing to do is drink. And I'm 26wks..water is my bff lol
