I have found that over the last two days, I am really thirsty all the time. If I don't drink water regularly I am getting a dry mouth/throat. Has any of you experienced this in the early stages - and is it anything to be worried about?

I had that quite a bit during my first few weeks of pregnancy, no matter what I drank, it never seemed to quench my thirst. I was constantly thirsty and dry. I don't think there's anything to worry about, just make sure you keep drinking water to keep you hydrated.

It is totally normal. Your body is beginning to produce load of extra blood for you and for the baby, and it needs fluid to do so. Water also helps the baby, and is important for the amniotic fluid. My midwife has told me to drink an INSANE amount of water, and I do the best I can. It also helps with constipation, digestion and loads of other stuff. So drink up girlies!!!
