dehydration

[dyscochick]

Just wondered if anyone feels like this. I just feel like i can't drink enough! I wake in the night desperate for a pee but also with the driest mouth in the world and gasping for a drink. Its like having a hangover (which haven't had for well over 6 months) I'm constantly drinking in the day (mostly water, occasionally juice or mint tea) but it never feels enough. I'm starting to hate water too!
Anyone else getting this?

I noticed at a certain point I couldn't get enough water (I am a big water drinker anyway!!!)

I didn't actually think I was dehydrated though

It eased off a few weeks back although I still get through about 500 ml's a night and I have a big glass when I first get up!

xxxxxxxxxx

I am constantly like this and remember it being one of my earliest symptoms. I asked my midwife about it because the urge I get when I need a drink is like I need one now! Midwife said totally normal, blood pumping lot faster etc meaning you feel more dehydrated.

It is annoying esp at night...need a drink but ill be up peeing all night...xx

SO glad its not just me, its just that need to drink, particularly bad when i'm teaching which means i've got water with me constantly. I know its not a bad thing to be drinking more, but I do drink a lot in the day anyway. The night time waking up with need to pee AND awful taste in my mouth is horrid!

I dont really like water although, I have started to have the taste for it, I think maybe at the back of my head im dehydrated and the juice isnt working and baby is saying "what you want is a big COLD bottle of water"

Its weird, I have never "wanted" water in my life lol - I do love my coke though that has been cut right down xxxx

I had dehydration problem bcz I don't drink water. Insted of drinking too much of water at a stretch, I started drinking one cup of water for every hour. I included juices and coconut water in daily routine. Here is a good source http://www.momjunction.com/articles/serious-signs-symptoms-of-dehydration-during-pregnancy_0087995/

Yes!! Nothing seems to quench my thirst. Doesnt help the constantly needing to pee issue either haha

I find a big glass of orange juice in the morning takes that initial 'I'm going to die without liquid' urge off me
