Me! I would normally drink 2 - 3 litres of water a day and then I fell pregnant and was wanting even more than that!

It eased, but then went mad again once DD was born and I was breastfeeding. Then I was thirsty and starving! Good luck!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

It is. Increased blood volume can decrease your blood pressure, so your body will be making you drink more. I was worried about it aswell, but there is nothing wrong with me. Later on they might be worried about GD, but I dont even have that and still drinking like a trooper.

Yep! There was another thread like this a while back too and everyone agreed it was pretty common!! I was so so thirsty at the start too! xox

[*Ash*]

Yep, I'm thirsty all the time too. In fact, I'm thirsty right now....better get another drink!

I can't remember being so thirsty, but good luck for the peeing-all-the-time stage!!! With drinking all that water, you may as well set up camp in the toilet!!

[*LittleMissSummer*]

Yep i was too! Drinking anything helped with my morning sickness.

[Taurean]

It's very common and normal I drink so much more during pregnancy than I normally would. At a guess I'm drinking 3 litres of water a day without trying!

[Yas]

Yep, i drink all the time Hope it doesn't drive you too crazy! (actually i think it's the constant weeing that does that! lol) x

[~Kim~]

Me too. I'd rather drink than eat ATM.

[corolla_chick]

thank you so so much everyone one!!! thought i was going mad lol
i still seem to be able to hold my wee.... for now! havent had to get up during the night yet.... lol

[Yas]

lol, enjoy it because you won't be able to hold it for long! Night time trips are the worst! xx

[Charlotte91]

I hated getting up in the night. Sooo annoying. Especially cause it was winter and the toilet is up the other end of the house. Its the coldest room in the house too.

haha wait till bub comes and you are feeding all the time at least by then you have full bladder function again! lol

[beachsidegoddess]

I'm the same - never used to drink a lot of water during the day, but now, can't get enough of it. Especially since the water is so cold! Mentioned to dh that he should put an ensuite in for me. His suggestion was a soft drink bottle.....

[corolla_chick]

hahaha...... beach..... less effort to just get up!

ive jinxed myself now and need to get up once a night lol
