Not sure about the thrush thing hun, sorry. But I really struggle to keep my fluids up in the 1st tri, and I'm normally a really good water-drinker. I cannot stand water in the first half of pg, and even cordial etc doesn't go down well. I just don't feel like any of it! But yes, I would get bloated after having fluids.

Well, you know I get sick, so eating anything at all is good for me in the first half. But I am now (mostly) like you, in that I want to devour everything!!! I have heard that it's a common pg side effect, even in the 1st tri

ETA Oh yeah Marcellus, my acupuncturist was always at me to keep my fluids up, even if it was just through eating juicy/watery fruit and veg
