Night sweats'

[jdy123]

My daughter was 6 weeks old Wednesday. Ever since the day after birth I've been having AWFUL night sweats! And I still get them now.
Surely this can't be pregnancy related still or can it?
Anyone else get them too?

I have literally just come on here to write the very same post as I'm now just over 6 weeks postpartum and still having soaking night sweats most nights and was thinking I thought they must have gone away by now! They aren't getting any better at all- are yours?

Are you breastfeeding? I am exclusively expressing and have BF this can contribute to night sweats sometimes due to the hormones but surely not this bad? I have my postnatal check with the doctor next week so will ask.

7 weeks PP here too and I still get them. Hope it stops soon!

Well mine have finally stopped! They stopped about 7 weeks thank god!! I actually FF so wouldn't have thought would hve them for so long? Hoping yours stop soon if not already x

I’m only 2 weeks but they are the worst !!!! Like I’ve got out of the bath!!!!!

Aw god theyre awful and totally was not expected ! Hope they don't last too long for you!

With DC3 they didn't stop until after 3/4 months of stopping breastfeeding so she was nearly a year old 😱🙈🤦🏼‍♀️

I am not looking forward to getting them during the menopause...

Oh lord the night sweats, I’d almost forgotten them. No one prepared me for them I was convinced I’d contracted a horrific infection or something.

Mine stopped around 4-5 weeks I think. Certainly stopped before the bleeding did and that went on till 6 weeks. I took to sleeping in my underwear and using just a dressing gown as a duvet.... this was in March

I would have to sleep on a towel as I would wake up
Soaking wet... with a soggy mattress.

Grim.

I got them for months, and they came back again at random other points like weaning etc.
Probably not what you want to hear...

I got them every night for seven months, although probably not as badly as others have posted, I wore a long sleeved loose cotton top to bed so once I took that off and put a fresh one on, the sheets etc were still dry.
I had a traumatic birth so, with the benefit of hindsight, I think it may have been a post traumatic stress thing. I wasn't breastfeeding either
