I was sweating like crazy! I'd wake up at night and be drenched and during the day I would break out in a sweat from just being busy with the baby. Its normal I asked my dr. she said that its just your hormones all out of wack. It gets better!

oh goodness gracious, I'd wake up and have to change my shirt, pants, even underwear, and sometimes even put a towel down because the sheets were wet. between that, all the spit-up, and leaky breasts I did a LOT of laundry!!!! thank God for my mom!!!

YES! This is just one of many things that I have found women do not talk about postpartum. I have to sleep with the AC on blast and both fans on as high as they can go. I also sleep with a towel on my pillow and another one to lie down on. It's just nasty! I am 2 weeks pp and have been dealing with this for about a week. I hope someone chimes in to say when we can expect this to come to an end.

My LO is 12 days old and for the past week I've been waking up multiple times every night completely drenched in sweat! It's so gross!

Yes, the first 2 months I would wake up for middle of the night feedings and be so sweaty that I would freeze to death! It was horrible, but luckily it stopped around the time he started sleeping through the night.

Yeah, especially in the first two weeks. I would wake up, feed the baby, change the baby, and then change my soaking wet pajamas because I'd feel so damp and uncomfortable.

Yup totally normal for your body to get rid of all the excess fluid. I sweat like a monster... More with Charlie since I gained more. My armpits smelled too with Charlie.

Yes... and I have terrible BO, which has never been a major issue for me before.

At least I know I'm not alone!
ETA: with the milk leaking, nursing pads, spit up, and sweat I just feel icky all day long! Best time of the day is when I'm in the shower!

I'm not pp yet, but my NP warned me about this--I think it's normal.
