Dehydration Symptoms?

[jenna]

I was just wondering if any one knew the Symptoms of dehydration? I feel dehydrated all the time and think if im not pregnant it might be the cause of my other Symptoms? My mum said it looks like i have water retention (??) in my feet and ankles, is that a sign of either pregnancy or dehydration??

I didnt know where to post this really.

Hey Jenna, i dont know about the ankles and feet but past week i've felt sooo thirsty, i have drinks with me wherever i go!
So could be a sign :]
Goood luck, when are you going to test again?

I was super thirsty at first!! Honestly I'd drink a 2ltr bottle of water no problem!!

Never had swollen ankles tho?

When you testing!!! Fingers crossed for you

Dehydration - headachey, sore throat, dry skin (sometimes) retain water and bloated. Not likely to get swollen ankles etc. As you're young - you can check by pinching the skin on the back of your hands and seeing how long it takes to go back flat again - should be pretty quick.

The heat the past couple of days has probably caused your swollen ankles - or a virus - last month I had this and was part of the virus

But you have lots of other brilliant symptoms

headachey - yep
sore throat - yep (but only cus i chocked on something)
dry skin (sometimes) - nope
retain water - iv been told so
bloated - a little.

The skin on my hands seems fine. Yea i supose it could be the heat. My feet look stupid lol there right puffy looking. I guess i'll wait to drink more and see what happens.

symptoms of dehydration are thirst, dizziness, confusion, fainting, sickness i think.

yeh ive been thirsty for the last week, and when i do drink i feel sick, not been sick yet but its still early days, and ive got a sore throat/tongue... weird i know but its only been sore since last week so im guessing its something to do with the pregnancy. i had swollen ankles next week but i think thats just the heat and standing on my feet all day, good luck with ur test, im doing a clear blue on friday too (unless i cant wait til then lol) cos my test lines are very faint good luck
