Are you avoiding caffeine?  Too much is not recommended during pregnancy, anyway, but it can also cause dehydration.  Otherwise, you're fine.  If you hate water, like I do, stock up on some water flavorings, like Mio or the ones from Crystal Light.

I am around six weeks as well and cant get enough water. I seriously drink cup after cup of ice water and still wake up dying of thirst.

I'm 17 weeks and just getting over being thirsty all the time. My husband thought I was crazy and I felt so bad for the waitress when we went out to eat going through so many waters. :/ oops. Haha

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that this is not uncommon in the first trimester of pregnancy.  I might be tempted to check a blood glucose level (if you have any personal or family history that puts you at risk for diabetes) but otherwise, I would just advise you to keep a water bottle handy and stay close to the ladies' room!
Good luck!

Yes it is normal I am constantly thirsty i am 28weeks now, I think it's a mixture of change in body temperature, more frequent urinating and foetus needing fluid for growth and amniotic fluid. I would still ask doctors or midwife though just in case
