can't get enough to drink

i always take a bottle of water to bed with me at night. well last night i woke up sooo thirsty that i drank the whole bottle. then i woke up about 3 hours later dying for something else to drink so i had to go make my nightly bathroom trip so i just went to the kitchen and got another bottle. i had it drunk in about 2 hours. does being that thirsty this late in my pregnancy have anything to do with labor coming?? i will be 39 weeks tomorrow.

the only thing i can think of is its a symptom of gestational diabetes. but at 39 weeks, it isnt worth worrying about. youre almost there!

I have been extremly thirsty through this whole pregnancy and its gotten even worse lately. I dont know if it has anything to do with labor i hope not bc im not due for another 4 weeks, but i do feel your pain

I wake up like that sometimes too... I'm 31 weeks today... You might have not drank enough water earlier in the day... or it's really dry in your room... I know mine is.

I don't know about labor being soon but i've been like that for a while I've been so thursty I used to not be much of a liquid drinker but now I can't stop drinking. T_T I always have oone of thoes huge pink cups you get at the hospital next to my bed and fill it up at least three times a night some times more.

Im pretty thirsty now and im only 16 weeks. But WOW im allready waking up like 3 times a night to pee. I cant imagine how bad it must be for you when your drinking 2 bottles of water in the middle of the night...lol. But remember, water is allways good for you and your baby so theres nothing wrong with drinking so much of it.

i drink about 2 1/2 liters of water yesterday, from 8-5 then when i got home it was about a liter in a half that i drank before i went to bed. then 2 16 oz bottles of water. i don't know but it is like that today i have already drank a liter and it is on 10:30.

i have only really had to get up a lot at night when i got about 8 1/2 months. before then i was fine. i think it started then b/c that is when she dropped. now she has dropped so much the second i get up from peeing i feel like i could just sit there and pee for hours. i used to hate water. i couldn't stand to drink it. up until my 61/2 or 7 month i hardly drank water. but now it seems like i would rather have water then anything else. don't get me wrong i have to have some kind of soda ever once in a while.

oh, I was the same way when I was pregnant. we would buy those 32 packs of watter bottles and I would go through it in like 2 days. I would chug an entire water bottle in like 2 seconds..
