I'm constantly feeling very thirsty, especially during the night, ever since I got pregnant. Is this a normal pregnancy symptom? Why do I feel so parched all the time?
Maybe it's all the extra salty or spicy cravings we eat during dinner! I always keep a bottle of chilled water and some lime water nearby to help soothe my parched throat at 3 AM.
Extreme thirst can be normal, but it can also be an early sign of gestational diabetes. Please make sure to discuss this symptom with your gynac and get your glucose tolerance test done on time.
Yaar, pregnancy me blood volume actually double ho jata hai, so body demands so much water. I used to keep a copper bottle near my bed, though waking up to pee every hour was such a pain!
Your body needs extra fluids now because of increased blood volume and to support amniotic fluid. Keep a big bottle of water on your bedside table and drink throughout the night, it’s completely normal.
I totally understand how frustrating it is to wake up parched and then run to the washroom! Your body is working so hard to grow that beautiful life, so just keep sipping water and be gentle with yourself.
I have heard from my sisters that our bodies require a lot of hydration to support the baby's environment. Having a glass of coconut water during the day might also help you stay hydrated at night.
