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

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 🤯

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!
