Is anyone else really thirsty in the evenings??

I'm fine in the day but come 7:30pm, my appetite goes away and I become like a woman possessed with drinking!

Yep, and I get up 3 times during the night to use the toilet because of it...bloody exhausting...

How far along are you? Excessive thirst can be a sign of gestational diabetes.

Hi,

I have this! I get up to the loo every hour in the night and have done for a good while. However I have found that if I force myself to drink more during the day even when I don't feel like it then I drink less in the evening. Another suggestion I have is ice and ice lollys - they quench your thirst but without too much liquid volume.

I am worried now!
I am extremely thirsty all the time! But I was 1st pg, and never had a problem diabetes-wise.
I had a mahooosive bump though- mw thought dd would be over 10lb- she was 6lb11.
Lost my waters over a 24 hour period- did not stop!

I'm 32 weeks and it did cross my mind about GD which is why I'm asking. I did start another thread calling on all those who DO have GD to ask about their thirst but no-one has answered yet. I am so hoping it isn't...!
