     Topic: Night Sweats     Posted: 19 November 2008 at 8:50am |

   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!

   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.
