Thirst

This is my 3rd pregnancy. 2nd was unfortunately a MMC.

I knew I was pregnant before a positive test due to how thirsty I felt. I didn't have this with my son.

I'm now 23 weeks and I not long ago had a bottle of water but it never seems to help the thirst and my lips are always dry. I also have noticed I don't wee as often. I feel like my body is consuming a lot of it.

At my midwife apt at 16 weeks I did tell them but she just said if it gets worse let us know. I have been triage a few times for other reasons and I asked. They checked my urine and all ok.

Has anyone else had this?

I would be asking for a diabetes test.
I have gestational diabetes (twice) previous pregnancy and now this one too.
One of my main symptoms was thirst, like no matter how much I drank I felt like it just wasn’t enough, my mouth was always dry, well felt like it anyways.
it might not be diabetes but I would personally give your midwife a ring and ask them for a diabetes test to be done just to be sure.
