1. A method of drilling a wellbore in a subterranean formation, the method comprising: circulating a water-based or oil-based drilling fluid in the subterranean formation; the water-based or oil-based drilling fluid comprising:a carrier,a superabsorbent polymer present in an amount effective to reduce fluid leakoff during the drilling operation, the superabsorbent polymer comprising crosslinks formed before the superabsorbent polymer is combined with the carrier, anda polysaccharide present in an amount of about 1 to about 30 pounds per thousand gallons of the drilling fluid,wherein the superabsorbent polymer comprises:a repeating unit derived from an acrylic acid or a salt thereof, an acrylate, an acrylamide, a vinylpyrrolidone, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl alcohol, a 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, a derivative thereof, or a combination thereof, andcrosslinks derived from a diacrylamide of piperazine, methylene bisacrylamide, ethylene bisacrylamide, N-methylol methacrylamide, N-methylol acrylamide, ethylene glycol diacrylate, poly(ethylene glycol) di(meth)acrylate, trimethylopropane tri(meth)acrylate, ethoxylated trimethylol tri(meth)acrylate, glycerol tri(meth)acrylate), ethoxylated glycerol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, ethoxylated pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, butanediol di(meth)acrylate), allyl (meth)acrylate, alkoxylated allyl(meth)acrylate, diallylamide of 2,2′-azobis(isobutyric acid), triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate, maleic acid diallyl ester, a polyallyl ester, tetraallyloxyethane, triallylamine, or tetraallylethylene diamine, andthe drilling fluid comprises greater than about 1 to less than about 40 pounds of the superabsorbent polymer per one thousand gallons of the drilling fluid, and is operable to achieve an American Petroleum Institute fluid loss of less than 15 cc. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the superabsorbent polymer is in an unhydrated form before the superabsorbent polymer is combined with the carrier. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the superabsorbent polymer is at least partially hydrated before the superabsorbent polymer is combined with the carrier. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the superabsorbent polymer is a copolymer of acrylic acid and sodium acrylate. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the superabsorbent polymer comprises crosslinks derived from polyethylene glycol diacrylate. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the drilling fluid is free of crosslinkers. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the drilling fluid is an aqueous-based drilling fluid and the carrier comprises water or brine. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the drilling fluid is a water-in-oil emulsion. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the drilling fluid is an all-oil based mud. 10. A method of removing cuttings from a wellbore, the method comprising: circulating a pill or a sweep during a drilling operation into a wellbore, the pill or sweep comprising water, a superabsorbent polymer, the superabsorbent polymer comprising crosslinks formed before circulating the pill or sweep, and a polysaccharide that aids in hydration of the superabsorbent polymer; andsweeping drill cuttings to the surface of the wellbore,wherein the superabsorbent polymer comprises:a repeating unit derived from an acrylic acid or a salt thereof, an acrylate, an acrylamide, a vinylpyrrolidone, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl alcohol, a 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, a derivative thereof, or a combination thereof, andcrosslinks derived from a diacrylamide of piperazine, methylene bisacrylamide, ethylene bisacrylamide, N-methylol methacrylamide, N-methylol acrylamide, ethylene glycol diacrylate, poly(ethylene glycol) di(meth)acrylate, trimethylopropane tri(meth)acrylate, ethoxylated trimethylol tri(meth)acrylate, glycerol tri(meth)acrylate), ethoxylated glycerol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, ethoxylated pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, butanediol di(meth)acrylate), allyl (meth)acrylate, alkoxylated allyl(meth)acrylate, diallylamide of 2,2′-azobis(isobutyric acid), triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate, maleic acid diallyl ester, a polyallyl ester, tetraallyloxyethane, triallylamine, tetraallylethylene diamine. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein circulating the pill or sweep and circulating a base drilling fluid occur at different times. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the method further comprises periodically injecting the pill or sweep into the wellbore by adding the pill or sweep to a base drilling fluid circulating through the wellbore. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the base drilling fluid is a water-based drilling fluid or an oil-based drilling fluid. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the base drilling fluid is an oil-based drilling fluid, and the superabsorbent polymer is at least partially hydrated before the pill or sweep is added to the base drilling fluid. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein circulating the pill or sweep comprises introducing the pill or sweep through a conduit inserted into the wellbore; andreceiving a returning fluid comprising drill cuttings at the surface from an annular space between the conduit and a wall of the wellbore. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the conduit comprises a drilling string, casing string, tubing string or coiled tubing. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein the pill or sweep comprises greater than about 10 to less than about 80 pounds of the superabsorbent polymer per one thousand gallons of the pill or sweep. 18. The method of claim 10, wherein the superabsorbent polymer is a copolymer of acrylic acid and sodium acrylate. 19. The method of claim 10, wherein the superabsorbent polymer comprises crosslinks derived from polyethylene glycol diacrylate. 20. The method of claim 10, wherein the pill or sweep comprises a water-in-oil emulsion and the superabsorbent polymer. 21. The method of claim 10, wherein the pill or sweep comprises brine and the superabsorbent polymer. 22. The method of claim 10, wherein the pill or sweep is less than 150 barrels.
