THIRST/URINATION
Okay, gals. I'm back. New day, new symptom.
Well, this has been going on for a few days, but I really started to notice it today at work because it was just downright annoying/disgusting.
So, I have been feeling ultra thirsty lately. Before I found out I was pregnant, I had a serious diet coke addiction. I would have, like, two-three cans a day. At the height of my addiction, I could probably drink two 20 oz a day. I'm not proud of that, but the taste of water just didn't satisfy me. And sometimes having a diet coke was like a meal to me.
Well, when I found out I was pregnant, I pretty much stopped cold turkey. I broke the rule twice this weekend and had a glass of diet coke when we went out with friends and had another small glass of caffeine-free diet coke last night at a party.
I have been drinking about 8-10 glasses of water a day for the past two weeks. I have never felt thirstier in my life. At times, I have a bit of trouble going to the bathroom. It's not painful or anything. It's just that by the time my body tells me it needs to go to the toilet, I sit down and realize I have already PEED MYSELF a bit. TMI, I know. . . , but it's like I had no idea I was peeing myself. :/
Someone tell me this is happening to you, too. I feel weird.
I haven't had any severe vomiting to lead to this feeling of dehydration, so I'm only assuming my body is reacting to being ripped off of diet coke. Needless to say, it's probably going to be a long night of me waking up every few hours to run to the bathroom.
I ran out to the store tonight after work and got three jugs of gatorade.
