Anemia can also result in extreme thirst. What's your diet like?

After checking for diabetes look into having an autoimmune panel done. Dry mouth was my first symptom.

I would ask a naturopath, maybe they have a different view

Does not sound normal to me. Don't box yourself into postpartum only issues

Just from experience, they don't give a sh&t unless you are pre diabetic by A1C

This doesn't seem to be it either. Thyroid and A1C are normal. I had a c section and didn't loose a ton of blood.

I'm wondering if I just got used to a much higher water intake postpartum because of breastfeeding thirst and my body is used to it now. I always drank lots of water but breastfeeding gave me thirst on another level.

Yes, it's normal. I mentioned the thirst to my doctor which is why she checked it. Thyroid is normal too.

Is this normal? I am so thirsty all the time. I breastfed up until a few weeks ago, so I thought that was the reason. But the thirstiness remains after weaning. I could drink water all day, and do! It’s especially noticeable when I wake up. My mouth is dry and I’m just so incredibly thirsty. I recently had a checkup and all of my labs were normal.
