Yes it's not just c section, it's normal to have post partum night sweats no matter how you give birth!

Happened to me after both of my children (both c sections) I can’t remember when it stopped after my first- but I think it’s getting better already 17 weeks pp now.

It’s just the hormonal drop after pregnancy, it’s rank though.

We also smell much stronger to let baby, with their poor eye sight, know mum’s smell and be comforted. I found my deodorant didn’t cut it both times till about 6 months pp.

Your hormones really start to plunge around 3 months pp which is usually when the hair loss starts. Then by 6 months you are back to stable levels, when the hair loss stops and the sweats too.
