Night Sweats and breastfeeding

[NurseSooz]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who suffers with night sweats. I know lots of girls get them briefly postnatal but I still wake up soaked at some point at night. Usually after some vivid dream. I've had bloods done and its not thyroid or anything. I'm assuming its hormonal but I feel like I'm the only one suffering still nearly 4 months down the line!

I get these too, but not every night. Just randomly I'll wake up sweaty, mostly around the neck area.

Some nights it's just my neck but other nights I wake up drenched

Bump! Nobody?

My neck and back are soaked every night. I'm only 1 week in though but I think it's very much hormonal. I don't remember it with my first:

16 months of drenching the bed, bedding, husband! I am gross, but it is a worthwhile cause!

 

[NurseSooz]

Thankyou tankgirl!! You make me feel so less alone. I was beginning to feel like a freak! I'm do fed up of soaking my bed, jammies, bra and husband! It's worth it though as I love breastfeeding!

I get this too!

I also get too hot generally. Although I don't want to wish the last of the summer away, I won't be totally sad when the weather's a bit cooler. I'm getting through too many clothes and I don't have an awful lot that fit me still!

Hurrah for the clammy girls!
