• what do you usually drink??? if it's soda then thats why you feel dehydrated all the time. try drinking water with a slice of lemon in it that should help some!

• I had the same thing. Not sure why, but as long as I was peeing every 30 minutes, I knew I wasn't dehydrated. But I drank water anyway because it quenched my thirst.

• I feel the same way. I'm 6 weeks today and constantly parched. All I drink is water and oj. Its never enough. At work I'm going through probaby 6 bottles of water and still drink more when I get home. I figure it can't be a bad thing, but I don't really know. Rather drink too much than not enough.

• Do you notice it at any particular time of the day, like first thing in the morning or before bed?   Are you well nourished?  Taking a prenatal vitamin supplement?
  

  I think that your body is trying to tell you something...   Maybe you're deficient somewhere (else).   You might try drinking herbal teas, juices, "Emergen-C" or similar some of the time.    Maybe it will help you to replace electrolytes or whatever might be missing.

• I drink ginger ale for my stomache when I feel really sick but besides tonight at dinner I dont drink soda. I drink alot of juice and milk. I fill a 1 leter bottle of juice multiple times a day.
