dry mouth, always thirsty... paranoid?

[belfie]

Hi,

I'm finding I seem to have a constant dry mouth & I'm always thirsty (more so recently). And I seem to be constantly on the toilet (but then, that will happen if you drink a lot!). I don't know if this is normal for 17+ weeks? I also still feel a bit crappy, particularly after dinner (but my m/s was slow to go after first tri, so it could be just a legacy from that). My paranoid fear is that it could be the sign/start of GD... and my dad has type 2 diabetes & I'm a bit overweight (BMI: 28), so I know that adds to GD risk.

Am I just being paranoid? I've read that apparently most people with GD don't actually get any symptoms. Or does everyone feel get thirsty etc, and it's just normal pregnancy symptoms? I feel kinda silly even ask this, but this is the safest place to post my "stoopid" questions

Thanks,
Belfie
