Is this normal?

I had a c section 15 days ago, for the last two nights I've been so hot in bed, waking up drenched in sweat. Scared I'm starting the menopause

Normal.
I didn't have c-sections but had this (for weeks) after both births.

It's gross, but it'll pass!

Same as PP. I didn't have a c section but also woke up drenched and it does pass (thankfully!)

Had a section, had the sweats - they are grim but temporary! I slept between large bath sheets to help soak up the moisture.

Vaginal births for me and yes, awful sweating after both dc. I was ready for it the second time! I found that sleeping in light pyjamas or one of dhs sports tops as it was another layer before I sweated through to the mattress. It stopped after about a week and a half, two weeks with both.

Yes, I also slept on a bath towel!

I think you should go to the doctors as it could be an infection. If it's not, no worries. I got sepsis after my c section and doctors were slow to recognise it which made me get unnecessarily worse.
