Increased thirst

SO annoying! 33+6 and I woke up 8 times during the night to wee - and drank a whole water bottle on my way back to bed. Should I ignore the thirst? I barely got any sleep! 👀 I’ve always woken up to go to the toilet, but with pregnancy is getting ridiculous!
May want to chat to midwife, allegedly between 32 and 37 weeks you struggle processing glucose more. I've had the same and they're having me monitor glucose levels now (not quite gestational diabetes yet)
More thirsty is one of the symptoms I've been told
I've been way more thirsty and craving sugar (caramel specifically haha).
I’m 34 weeks pregnant and all I can think about is drinking fluids. I don’t even crave food at this point. I was the same during my last pregnancy in my third trimester.
Didn’t have GD my last pregnancy either!
I had this a couple weeks back! Still thirsty now but it really kicked up a notch back then and I was thinking about gd. If you’re not ticking any of the boxes for gd screening like bmi or previous gd etc then your midwife can dip your urine for glucose instead and if that were to come back positive then you’d get screened. If it’s not that then at least you know you’re just thirsty (like me)! 😆
I have been for a few weeks now, 36 and half weeks today. But also like water just isn't enough anymore!
