Unquenchable thirst

I’m 35 weeks and this last month I am just constantly thirsty….I’m drinking everything and anything to try and quench it but nothing works. I feel full at the amounts I’m drinking but it’s still not satisfying me! It’s driving me mad! Does anyone else experience similar and have any suggestions? Urine, bloods etc all fine.

My thirst has gone up noticeably, I’m the same 35 weeks. I wouldn’t say the thirst is always constant, but I do have to drink all through the night as well as day which doesn’t help with the constant trips to toilet haha

Hi, this isn't medical advice, but this might be worth a try: drinking something with electrolytes. I've been drinking a bit of coconut water because i am pretty sure isotonic drinks like lucozade arent the best for us right now. Maybe staying away from diuretics would help too - coffee, tea, fizzy drinks because they may be making you feel thirstier.

Electrolytes

@Haru interestingly I’ve been drinking more fizzy as I thought this was helping slightly….will Try stopping those! Thank you x

I’m 100% feeling the same. 36 weeks.

Im the same! I am sure my midwife did mention that its very normal though at this stage - even causes some mums to be to start snoring. I wake up so thirsty in the night! Xx

Omg I thought I was the only one!! My lips and body has become so dry as well. Going to invest in a 2L bottle now 🤣
