Dehydration and early pregnancy

Hi all, I'm about 7 weeks pregnant and for about 2 weeks now I've had dry lips and headaches and am constantly thirsty (on top of the almost constant nausea). I've started drinking powerade everyday to get a bit more hydration, but as soon as i stop drinking it it comes back. Anyone else had this and know if it's normal?

I have all the symptoms you have besides the headaches. Am wondering if I need to go on some medication because I can't stomach much food/drink. sad

Hi,im 8 weeks and have headaches and dry lips. My lips are cracked and dry which is unusual for me.i also have swollen glands in my neck.im just wondering if I should see doc to. I know the headaches are normal but the lips awnd thirst is concerning. I wasnt much help with ur question.sorry.

Thanks for your replies, at least I know I'm not alone! May have to go see the doctor next week, I'll let you know you know what she says smile

i was dehydrated a few weeks ago and getting headaches from it. it realy hard when your sick to 1 drink water and 2 keep it down so i was drinking 1-2 coconut waters every day and within a few days i was good, its full of natural electrolytes so very hydrating. personaly i wouldnt have too much powerade as its high in sodium nad has yucky sugars in it.

just so you know though that coconut water has about the same sodium as well but it comes from the coconut its not an additive like in powerade. i can only assume its better for you.

good luck, hope you get hydrated.
