Is this common while breast feeding?
Our room is not particularly hot (it's warm for DS) but when I wake for a feed I am completely drenched in sweat. It's quite disgusting. I don't feel hot at all, just sweating down my front and back. Is it hormonal or should I see a doc or something? |

I had the sweats really badly when I was breastfeeding. It was awful, but I put it down to those horrible things called hormones! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I had that too - lasted for a few weeks I think.  It's fairly common (not that people usually mention it), I read about it somewhere while I was pregnant so luckily it didn't freak me out too much!-------------

Oh, I'm SO getting that now, started a few weeks before birth and is worse now. I'm breastfeeding too.
I've never been a sweaty person so it's really weird to feel big drops of sweat rolling down my neck
PS, I have also started snoring, I blame hormones for it all  -------------

Oh I had this aswell when i was breastfeeding!
I remember waking up one night with sweat almost dripping between my boobs and was so grossed out! And I didnt feel hot either, was just sweaty! Even during the day I felt sweaty and smelly. ------------- |

So it IS normal! I was wondering!!! I had it for the first few weeks after Bethany was born. And I can't wear warm pyjamas like I would've this time last year unless it's REALLY cold, otherwise it reoccurs Good fun! -------------

I don't think it's hormonal, I think it's all the making milk energy. My breasts are already quite hot just with this pregnancy. -------------  |
