Night Sweats?

AimeeM · Mar 17th, 2010, 04:51 AM

I have been having quite bad night sweats over the past few nights wher i wake up and feel so wet all around my chest and stomach.

I have read it can be common in breast feeding mothers so has anyone else had this?

Thanks!

Yes, I get it,its a nightmare-I wake up drenched. I originally thought that I had the heating on too high but then read a thread in postnatal support where loads of other people said they had it too. Apparantly its quite common.

Yeah I get that too it's horrible - I find I have to wash my pyjamas all the time these days whereas I used to get a bit longer out of them. It seems to be getting a bit better recently though I think.

I wonder when it might stop, it is getting a bit much washing bed sheets every day as our dryer just packed in too. I still wouldn't change it for the world though!!

I had that too - for me it settled down after about 6 weeks.

i had this too, apparently its your body getting rid of the excess water after having a baby or something. it should subside soon x

Yup! Me too. I wake up drenched in the wee small hours. Apparently it's to do with oestrogen levels and the milk production being at a peak between the hours of 1 and 5am. Ah well, I see it as a positive thing that everything is going as it should be.

Ahh!! I didn't know this was the cause! I had this too in the early weeks and wasn't really sure why, was so annoying. I kept saying to OH, it's too hot in here, Eve must be too hot!!

Has all gone now though.. still exclusively breastfeeding..

Thanks ladies, learn something new everyday!
