I am 7 months pregnant and have the wierdest craving ever. I crave water. I can not go more than 15 min w/o drinking it. I carry a water bottle every where I go, and the colder the better. Is this normal? Has any one else have this? Should I talk to the doctor?

Craving water is great.....unless it gets worse or it accompanies excessive urination. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to have your blood sugar and urine checked. This might be a sign of gestational diabetes.

That's like, the best craving ever. I wish I had that instead of some of the sweet cravings I've had. Although I will say that I'm having a similar issue with milk. I can't seem to get enough of the stuff. Like a gallon and a half a week. I would say something to the doctor though. If you are feeling very thirsty a lot, that may be a sign of some other problem. I would mention it at your next appointment, just to be safe.

it's just your body's way of keeping hydrated. I go through this as well, my doc said this is normal and any excuse to drink lots of water is okay(but the trips to the bathroom will increase as well!). But I heard that an ice craving is a small sign of anemia(don't know how true this one is,though).

I craved water too. At a restaurant I had to ask the server to bring me a pitcher because he had to refill my glass every five minutes. By myself in about two hours I drank about 3 pitchers of water. And it had to be ice cold too.

Not weird! I crave green olives with the pimentos picked out and the combination of Hawiian Punch and ginger ale. Go figure.

i actually crave water too.i liked it before i got pregnant but now i like it even more.its actually good cause you know youre not going to get dehydrated.but too much water can make you retain it more.so i would watch how much you drink.i probly drink 2 gallons of water or more a day!i dont see why it would be a problem but maybe ask your doc just to ease your mind

craving water is normal and healthy. I had a neighbor who craved dirt and clay now that's strange.

No that is ok, your body knows what it needs. I used to live off mountain dew, and now i can hardly take a sip of the stuff, i can only drink orange gatorade right now, pregnancy is strange huh!

that is great. at that point in pregnancy drinking lots of water is good for you. im 9 months and this has been happening to me too. your body is telling you that you need the water.
