Night sweats

Anyone else wake up drenched in sweat at night?
I read online that it has to do with hormone levels changing... I wonder how long it is going to take to settle because I can't just change my sheets daily 😅

I did, It felt horrible. I posted on here about it, as I forgot this was a thing. I don't remember sweating this much with my first. A lot of ladies suggested sleeping on a towel. This definitely helped. It stopped by week 2.

Mine didn't stop until week 4 but got less frequent.

Hiya am the same and my little girl is 4 weeks today! I also don’t remember this with my first little one! X

Yes!! My LO is 3 1/2 weeks and it seems to have finally stopped!

I have been like this during the day! I don't remember it with my 1st, but I had bad hot flushes whilst pregnant this time round and they seem to have continued post pregnancy. My LO is 2 1/2 weeks, and it's not as often now x

Yes I get this however some of it is milk. So I make sure to wear breast pads in bed now always and first 2 weeks pp I had a towel down too

For reals

Who has gone through this with whatever horrible symptoms you have had and what did you do to feel better!?

Vaginal estrogen has been a game changer for me.
There are other concerns now though …let’s hear it ladies !

PPD

How do you know you have PPD? Or you are just burnout or have maternal overload?

Hormones over 30? 🎢

Is it just me or have hormones suddenly taken complete control over my life? I'm talking - mood, skin, hair, diet, abilities, sex, you name it, my hormones have me by the balls 🤯

Let's talk about...

Hormone drop - 6 days pp

Hey, this is my second baby and my hormone drop this time around has been so much more severe.
I am thinking rationally and understand why it’s happening and to keep an eye on it but I feel like I spent most of yesterday in tears worrying about when my husband goes back to work and I’m on my own with a newborn and 2 year old!
Can anyone relate? Xxx

PP sweats

Did anyone else experience extreme hot flashes after they had their baby? I’m 1 year PP and recently the hot flashes have been getting so much worse. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Please comment when it went away or what helped you deal with it 😩 I’m so miserable I’m always dripping sweat!
