    I went through this in my first trimester mainly. I did end up with GD, but don't think they are related. I think it may possibly be to do with your body making all that extra blood (I think it is 50% more than normal) and it needs water to do it. I don't know if that is really the reason, but that is my theory anyway.

    Mine passed around 15 - 16 weeks I think. How far along are you?

    It's very normal to be thirsty during pregnancy and it's great that you are drinking a lot of water. It's fabulous for both you and bubs.

    I've drunk a lot more water than usual the whole way through my pregnancy. I drink most of my water intake later in the day and evening and I easily go through half a litre overnight as well.

    Glad to hear I am not the only one, I am drinking a lot and I mean a lot of water, about 2-glasses during the night and approx. 10 during the day. My mum mentioned GD, but sounds like this is normal

    I was insatiably thirsty when pg with DD. I would have 2-3litres of water a day. And it had to be cold, preferably icy water. I hate cold icy water. I normally tepid, even warm water, but when pg with DD I couldn't get enough of it!
