Dry mouth, chapped lips

The last week or so I've been experiencing super dry mouth and chapped lips. I know this could be a sign of dehydration so I've tried to up my water intake which has helped some. I'm guessing the heating system in my house can also dry you out/fact that its winter. Anyone else in the same boat? My fear is that its a sign of GD and have my glucose test in a week.

I've had that a lot lately and I chalk it up to the dry weather and sinus congestion forcing me to breath out of my mouth.  I am trying to up my water intake to help.  I'm not sure about it being a sign of GD, but if it is, there's use in worrying about it at this point since there's not much you can do about it.

I've had this since the very beginning and although I failed my 1hr, I passed my 3hr.

Do you have forced hot air heat? I am like that all winter, pregnant or not, due to the heating system.

I think it's the weather.  I passed my GD test with flying colors, but I've had dry mouth and chapped lips.  Most of the time, there are no symptoms for GD.  Don't stress about the test; I did and it wasn't a big deal.  The drink is 50 mg of glucose, which is close to a regular can of cola.

I have both of these and just think its the weather with the forced hot air.  I agree I think I'm like this every winter :)

I wake up like this every single morning. My GD test came back all normal, though, so, don't stress yourself out!

I am constantly using chapstick and drinking water.  Sounds normal!

I've been getting chapped lips as well but it most likely has to do with the dry weather lately. Just keep drinking lots and lots of water, and invest in a pretty good lip balm/chapstick. The cheap kind won't cut it and it'll actually make your lips drier than you think, making you put more and more on. I like the rose lip balm from Bath & Body, it's helped my lips loads!
