Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi all! I am almost 7 weeks pregnant and I have an unquenchable thirst! I drink and drink and drink water or Crystal light and it never goes away. I have never had diabetes, on the contrary I have always had low blood sugar. This is my 3rd child and I have felt horrible for the past two weeks. When I was pregnant with my son, I had a UTI, could this be causing my thirst? Thanks for any advice!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Me, me too! @ 8 1/2 weeks I'm also freakishly thirsty. I 'blame' the raging hormones & our systems mobilizing to nurture the new life. There's probably some info about that in some literature I got @ my 1st appt, but the couch is too comfy right now. I'll report what I find out, in the mean time: Cheers!!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I think your thirsty because your blood volume and everything is expanding to accomodate the new life growing inside of you. Remember your blood volume almost doubles when pregnant. I remember being very thirsty in the beginning too. I am thirsty now too at almost 30 weeks but if I drank whenever I wanted to I'd be in the bathroom every 5 minutes! Chrystal Wife to Jace - together 6 Years! Happy Mommy to - 4 Years Old!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I go through so much toilet paper now it is unbelievable! Between going to the bathroom every 15-30 min. (wheather I drink or no it seems like) and blowing the runny nose you would think there are 5 women living in my house. Preggo hormones sure have given the old alergies a run this year and good god I certainly don't want to sneeze with a full preggo bladder. - Diane > I think your thirsty because your blood volume and everything is expanding to accomodate the new life growing inside of you.
