Same thing happened to me around 4 days pp, i had night sweats and was hot flashes for a few days. I figured it was my hormones going crazy after giving birth. I have a Oura ring as well that picked up on my body temperature going crazy

Its normal. Keep spare tees close by to change into during the night. Its worse if you breastfeed. Welcome to the stuff no one said could happen pp 🥲 it does get better though!

Yeah it is completely normal. It is the drop in hormones and excess water your body retained during pregancy. I am currently 1 week pp and having the same. Also had it with my first, only lasts a short period of time. Glamorous life of a pp mum 🤨 xx

Im almost 3 weeks PP and have been the exact same. Past few days though it seems to be getting better. I know its not great when half the time its so hard to grab a shower x

I would just keep an eye on how you are feeling, I had this but persisted that I had some sort of infection as I didn’t feel well and it turns out I did and needed medication x

Its absolutely normal its just your hormones dropping after birth. I had it with both mine, its not nice but it doesnt last long

Very normal, I had terrible night sweats for a couple months
