dry mouth

I'm in my 8th week, and I can't seem to drink enough water to keep my mouth moist. My urine is a good color, so I know I'm not dehydrated. Anyone else have this problem?

Omg!! I am going thru the same thing. I hate this constant thirsty feeling no matter how much water I drink!

You are so not alone I am pregnant with my 2nd child & have had that happen a couple of times, but with my 1st pregnancy it was horrible. It was actually my 1st symptom that I was pregnant & I hated it. I tried drinking everything to get that thirsty feeling to go away but it never would. If I remember right I had that feeling until I was about 25-30 weeks pregnant.  I hope all you ladies can quench your thirst soon.

I have been feeling a little dried out myself. I am 9+1 weeks and don't know why I can't seem to get rid of my thirst. I will drink. Until. My stomach hurts and I still feel dry.  I hardly ever drink enough and when I am pregnant I try to drink enough and the way I know I am drinking enough is that I won't be thirsty.  I just wish that I did not feel like I am thirsting to death. I even feel light headed and dizzy. And tired which is normal this early in pregnancy but it makes me feel like I am really thirsting to death. Glad to know I am not the only dried out pregnant woman.

I'm 37 and 2 still have that problem. Perpetually thirsty despite drinking water. I should go away after the baby comes.
