Sweating buckets

[moonstone523]

I'm sweating buckets in my sleep. This never happened pre-pregnancy / breastfeeding.

Anyone else experience this?

[sara76]

No. I've never heard of it. I got an awful rash though. It was unbearable.

I remember hearing in my pregnancy class that sweating can be a way of shedding pregnancy weight/fluid. Maybe you should be thankful your shedding it all at once???

It's normal. My feet also swelled to elephantisis sizes as gravity caused the water to flow south. I got a picture of it and everything.

Thankfully no swelling, but between the sweating and leaking I'm waking up in a pool.

Yes! I didn't have it with B, but I woke up beyond drenched in the beginning with Maisy. Like bed sheets completely saturated, my clothes dripping wet, just a sweaty mess. I thought I remembered reading it was just due to hormones. It didn't last too long- maybe a month or so?

OH GOD YES. I woke up DRENCHED nightly for a few weeks postpartum. Like, I would get up to feed Ellie, and consider changing the sheets. I hated it.

Ditto tasha though, it didn't last too long - I agree, maybe a month.

But yes, it's one of those things nobody tells you about, and then you wake up in a puddle of sweat with no warning.

^What she said. OMG, it was so gross.

Yes!!! I had this with DS. I thought something was wrong with me but it eveutally went away.

The discharge videos from the 80's that I watched in the hospital mentioned it.

Lol St Joes Women's? I watched those videos too. They were on constant the whole stay and the nurses were always like "wow you're really doing your homework with these videos" but I don't think I looked at the screen once.

Happened to me all the time in the beginning. It gets better!

It does get better. I took a million showers during that phase.
