Feeling Dehydrated

05-12-2006, 04:21 AM

Hey everyone!! Okay, I am approx. 37 weeks pg and lately I have been feeling more and more dehydrated. I know that the most obvious answer would be to drink more water but if I drink anymore I might as well just live in the bathroom. I am borderline gd so I try to stay away from gatorade (VERY high in sugar and sodium) and I have been wanting a lot of milk but most of the time I just drink water. I can go through a 24 bottle case of bottled water in a matter of days. I am going to ask my dr about it on Monday but I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this?

Thanks,

Brandi

I did in the last part of my pregnancy and from what I was told, it's competely normal. I was drinking water non-stop and thought I was going to have to move my stuff into the bathroom!! THe good news is you are getting all the water your body needs and the end is near:-D

If you are boarderline diabetic, though, you should certainly mention this to your doctor as soon as possible. A strong need to drink when you're sufficiently hydrated is a common sign of diabetes.
