Hello ma'am and welcome.

By drinking only water, did you mean you have been taking your meals as usual and drinking a lot of water or just drinking a lot of water. Your symptoms can be related to a hormonal change that is common with pregnancy, but hypoglycemia needs to be ruled out due to the suspicion of a poor intake.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
