Thirsty ALL the time!

@Zoe no not yet, I haven’t had any other symptoms of GD so fingers crossed it isn’t but I’ll definitely mention it to her
Yes I'm drinking about 12 pints of water a day. It's mad but normal 😀
This is me. I’m so thirsty all the time. This was the only symptom I had of GD. I passed my test with flying colours. I just think it’s a pregnancy thing. 😅
I was the same but it went away in a week or so! Now at 27+3 I only have couple sips of water during the night, and not a full Stanley 😵💫 Still drinking a lot, but not by gallons
I am the exact same and it's exhausting!! I've been having melon for the last week or so, about half a melon a day (watermelon, honeydew, galia, whatever you like) and it's helping with the unquenchable thirst. It doesn't solve it but it gives some respite for a while and baby loves it!
Exactly the same! I’ve been buying those dash flavoured water cans, somehow the fizz seems to help quench it a bit better. And loads of juicy fruit too - can’t get enough of cold grapes 😅
Thanks girls for all the advice!! Glad to know it’s not just me but hope you’re all doing okay ❤️
Have you had a gestational diabetes test yet? It might just be hormones/the increased needs of your body but I’d mention this to your midwife as excessive thirst can be a symptom of GD so worth checking out
