I'm Currently Feeling: | I get this too. Just looked it up and found this hope it helps (im not clever enough to think of it so wont pass it off as my own lol )
Thirst is usually related to the amount of water your body is losing through urination, perspiration, and evaporation. During pregnancy, your metabolic rate increases so you are losing larger amounts of water. Your body is also conserving water, preparing for added blood volume and for the increased demands of pregnancy. Increased thirst is a necessary adaptation which encourages you to drink more and can be very normal.
