I think you should call your MW. An unquechable thirst can be, not always but can be, a symptom of Diabetes. A blood test could be in order just to check.

I think LDN is right to put your mind at rest call your MW BUT I always feel dehydrated at the moment (37w) and have done for a couple of weeks, drink at least 4ltr of water a day. Same with my last pregnancy, always thirsty.
