I'm 18 weeks too. I've not suffered from it myself (yet) but I've heard it can happen in pregnancy. Keep your fluids up and keep a bit of gentle exercise up throughout pregnancy if you can. Hope it eases off soon.

I'm constantly running around after my toddler and the thirst I'm experiencing is like something else! Probably why I've been lucky.
