i get soooo thirsty! especially at night which is horrible because then i pee 4 times a night! and water is so good too. i basically only drink water all day and orange juice in the morning. i am hoping it will help my skin get nicer!

All i drink is water and milk now, i can't drink fizzy drinks because they give me heartburn and the thought of a hot drink is just so unappealing to me

Yep. I have the same problem. I am 25 weeks along and just can't get enough to drink!!! And if I'm not drinking, I'm peeing!!!! I agree, it's a vicious (sp?) circle.

I've found that I've been really thirsty lately too. I've been drinking about 4-5 500ml water bottles a day, at least. I wonder why this is. Confused

Yeah, I am thirsty allot too. At first I thought that it was hunger cravings but then I realized it was thirst.


I just hate all of the peeing though.

I'm glad it's not just me, i was getting a little worried because i know that thirst can be an indicator of diabetes which runs in my family so i'm always a little wary. Oh god i get up 4-7 times every night to go and pee Sad

I hate peeing! Seriously, my little guy is always kicking my full bladder and it hurts! I can't seem to cut back on water though and it is getting so hot here that I need it all the time.

I just can't get enough water! I freaking love it now i'm pregnant! The worst one for me is when .Mika starts to roll around and shift into a different position, no matter what position it is she always seems to feel the need to crush my bladder in the process Laughing

I love feeling my little lady move and see my stomach jerk around etc but i wish she could leave my poor little bladder alone, atleast for one night's undisturbed sleep!

ive been thirsty a lot too..its because you dehydrate faster when your pregnant and the fact that you need to replenish your amniotic fluid daily or something like that

i think i normal pregnant woman is supose to drink 2 quarts of liquid a day...although i have to drink at least 4 (preferably 6) quarts a day because i dehydrate faster then normal people (alway have)

if you all think its bad now, wait till those little ones drop...then they will be smushing your bladder even more lol

lol, valkyrie dropped this morning i think, i peed 3 times within 2 hours this morning, that sucked....and it hasnt stopped yet, its getting rediculous lol

i havent really gotten that feeling yet, ive gotten some pretty painful cramps and pressures and stuff....i think i might be having contractions but they are like an hour apart, so im not sure, it could just be consistant braxton hicks i guess
