I am so thirsty right now - nothing seems to quench it!
I wondered about the diabetes thing but my blood sugar is just fine so I spoke to the midwife about it. She just said the body is beginning to produce a load of extra blood for me and the baby, and it needs fluid to do so. The metabolic rate also increases so pregnant ladies lose larger amounts of water.
I suppose it's a good thing in a way, as I'm drinking so much - mostly water but it does increase toilet trips!
