So thirsty all the time!

Ugh no matter how much, or what I drink (usually only water and milk), I am constantly thirsty!! And I have this earthy, metallic, dirty taste in my mouth constantly.   Almost like I have sand, or ashes in my throat too! Even after I brush my teeth!  I don't remember having this problem when I was pregnant last time :-P

This something I would call and mention to my OB tomorrow if I were you...excessive thirst can indicate diabetes. I wouldn't worry TOO Much because it can also be normal to be more thirsty - your body is trying to build up a higher blood volume by the way, after all! but definitely something to call and ask about :-)
