Did anyone have night sweats postpartum? If so, how long did it last? I had this after A was born but thought it was because it was hot outside and I can't remember how long it lasted.
-
Yes! It was hot here, too, but our bedrooms are cold. I don't remember for certain now, but I think it lasted a few weeks? Maybe 2-3?
-
Mine was about a week? And iit was disgusting!
-
yes! i think about 2 weeks? I think i remember reading that it is partly your body getting rid of all the excess fluid you carried around during the pregnancy? that made me feel less crazy when dealing with it at least...hope it is over for you soon!
-
Yes and I had a winter baby. I think mine only lasted a few days
-
I only had them the night after I had a fever and it was gross, soaked the sheets, my shirt, my bra!!! Gross.
-
I think about a week or so. Yuck.
-
Yep...like 3 weeks! That along with leaking breast milk is a lovely combination
-
Ugh, not looking forward to those again! I don't think they lasted me more than 2 weeks, but I just remember waking up so cold and having to deal with a hungry baby!
-
3 weeks, it was terrible.
-
Yes. Like 2-3 weeks. It was awful!
-
Omg this was the worst for me. It lasted for months! 2.5 I think! It was the worst feeling. I actually had no idea about night sweats so it was extra terrible.
-
I think they lasted 2-3 weeks for me. Ugh! Hated it so much.
-
2-3 weeks and then randomly again at 4 months pp for 3-5 days.
-
About 3 weeks.
-
A few weeks and then when I weaned at 5 months I got them again for a bit!
-
Ugh thanks guys looks like I have a few more weeks of this, it's so gross!
-
Definitely had this for probably a month? I still have it on occasion these days at 6mo pp but luckily it's not as intense or as frequent!
-
Ugh I think that was the worst part of PP for me. They lasted a month at least and I felt sooo disgusting!
-
It only lasted about 1-2 weeks for me!
-
I forget how long it lasted but it was disgusting.
-
It was maybe 3 months for me, but my thyroid was also all over the place post-partum which contributed to many a nasty and sweaty hot flash.
-
I think like a month or two. It was terrible!!!
-
About a week!
-
I can't remember but it was definitely weeks and way, way worse with Charlie because I had a c-section with him and gained a lot more weight. I would wake up in the the middle of the night drenched in sweat and leaking milk. I had no idea about the sweating!
-
I'm going to say it was about a month. And I had never read/heard about them, so I was like, "Uhh...wtf?" I had a January baby, so it was cold out.
-
definitely for a couple weeks. it was ridiculous. I lost over 30 pounds from pre-labor to 2 weeks PP and I swear I sweated half of it out. hormones are not my friend. at least in was January!
-
Ugh, I remember the night sweats well
For me, they lasted a few months and I was so uncomfortable. I remember having to change 2-3 times per night!I hope they end soon for you!
-
Yep! They were awful. Really bad for a couple weeks and then it was almost 2 months before they were gone at all.
-
@HLK208: yes, this! i would wake up like every hour to change because i'd soaked my shirt for one reason or another...fun times!!
-
Yeah, I remember this. I've been thinking about it too, how I'm not looking forward to that. I had the worst BO.
-
Weeks and weeks, ugh. So gross.
-
It was close to a month that I would wake up in hot flashes/sweats. That was the worst part.
-
I had them for about a month. It was gross...BUT I'm pretty sure I basically sweated out all the excess water weight I was carrying around, so at least that was good!
-
about two weeks. I slept on towels and had dry pjs ready. So gross.
-
I'm sorry to say this, but I'm pretty sure mine lasted about 6 weeks. They were SO gross.
-
Oh wow, I had no idea this was a thing - good to know!
-
Mine lasted a couple of weeks.
