Hi Ladies,

I have been really thirsty through the night for the alot of my pregnancy. My thirst has increased in the last couple of weeks (i drink a pint of juice through the night - not sure if that sounds alot but definately alot more than pre pregnancy for me) I am also peeing alot (but i'm sure that would go hand in hand with drinking so much). I also have alot of discharge and have done for several weeks and feel quite itchy down there every now and again (sorry tmi). Not sure if this is thrush or not but it seems to go away by itself. Anyway....i was googling excessive thirst and it came up with gestational diabetes including these three symptoms and now i'm having a bit of a panic. Luckily i have a midwife appointment on thursday (i'll be 28 weeks +) but jut wondering what the liklihood of GD is? and what are the complications for me/baby? i had a healthy first pregnancy

thanks

Thanks Maria,

I will see my mw tomorrow but had a terrible night last night - i could barely sleep for being so thirsty - i ended up eating an ice lolly at 2 am just so my mouth wasnt so dry :( Think i will make up some ice cube trays today...I'm going to phone them today though and tell them how bad it is and whether it's okay to wait until tomorrow's appointment.
