Post pregnancy sweating...how long does it last?

[OhCaptainDarling]

It's horrid......when does it stop?

DC2 born 2 wks again All good however I'm waking up in a pool of sweat during the night and in the morning. Then I'm getting back into a cold damp bed once I've finished feeding.

I have towels on the bed and pillow, changing the sheets every 3 days. I'm changing my sleep bra etc at least 1 a night.

I know it will pass but when...

Thanks

Mine lasted the whole time I breastfed. Its training for the menopause

Oh my goodness...don't say that cake not sure that I could cope with that.

A few weeks. I remember thinking I was seriously ill.
Think it was gone by a month.

Same here - midwife said it was my body making the milk. Sweats and shivers etc.... Was over by about 4 weeks maybe 6.

Mine lasted for 6 mths til I had my gallbladder out.... It appears I was running an infection after all!

Oddly I fed for another 18mths with no sweats.

If things don't improve worth seeing doc.

God you've made me remember how awful it was. Unhelpfully I have no idea how long it lasted, maybe a couple of weeks?

Mine lasted for around 6 months (I'm still breastfeeding at 8 months). I rarely sweated before getting pregnant so it took some getting used to. As well as at night, I sweated horrendously all over walking even a short distance (and I've always exercised regularly so I'm fit). I was starting to think it was permanent so thank goodness it has stopped.

Man, those sweats were freaky. I understood it in hospital because those places always have their own little weird climate, but I too was worried I had a seriously problem when they carried on at home!
I don't remember how long they lasted though, I think only a matter of weeks.

My dd1 is 6.5 weeks and I'm still throwing the quilt of in my sleep and waking up sweating. Having the house warm for her doesn't help!! I want to open all the windows and freeze myself!!

Mine was only a few days. Sounds like I had it easy.

What? I don't remember this.

I'm 5 weeks since my c section and thryve started to taper off now thank goodness. They were nasty. I was waking up to feed baba and the bed sheets were sodden as were my pj's. Hope they ease off soon x

Mine only lasted a couple of weeks and I'm still breastfeeding. Between the sweats and the leaky boobs I was waking up drenched every night.

6 weeks really but got a bit better after 4 weeks. It's grim but I kept trying to remind myself that it was the water retention gained during pregnancy, plus hormones, my body was getting rid of and that was a good thing

Mine lasted about 4 weeks but now I also get them with at AF time, when I had never before. It's awful, I used to change pyjamas after every feed!

6 months and counting, stopped BF 5 months ago Am seeing the GP about mine...

DS2 is 4 weeks old now and they stopped a week ago. They were at their worst around 2 weeks.

Hope yours stop soon! They're awful, especially in a cold bedroom when you have to get up to change a nappy while you're soaked through.

I'm 4 weeks post partun with DD2 and they have tapered off with the bleeding over the last week.

Oh and I'm bfing

With ds lasted for ages was horrible. About six weeks

Dd is now four months old. I had them for about three weeks this time.

Hope yours stops soon

About 6 weeks but have had the occasional one since (DS2 is now 10 weeks). I do not remember it with DS1. Both are breast fed babies.

DD is 5 weeks and I think the sweating calmed down around a week and a half ago. Like others have said it coincided with lochia stopping and the sweating was worst at around 2 weeks. It is horrible though.
