Increase in sweating since having kids?

Has anyone noticed an increase in sweating since having kids?

 Since I have had DS I feel like I sweat a lot more than I use to. I use to be able to workout for 30 minutes and not break a sweat. But now I start sweating just sitting at my desk as work. Its gross and I am bothered by it. I have tried clinical deodorants but those don't work. I reapply deodorant several times a day but still end up with the underarms of my shirts wet.

I think I may talk to my doctor about it but just wondering if anyone else has this problem since having kids?

Have you had your TSH (thyroid labwork) checked?  Do you have any other symptoms ie anxiety, hair loss, tremors, weight loss?  I was very prone to sweating when I was hyperthyroid pp.

Yes, but it has started to get better now that DD is 2.5+.  Not quite how I was before kids, but definitely better than the first year or so PP.

Yes and it's embarrassing.  I've tried every deodorant - even the clinical strength.  It's not as bad in the winter, so maybe it will be better this summer - DD will be 2 1/2. 

 I was also slightly hypothyroid and have since had that fixed, although it seems like it should be the other way.

I have/had this issue. They ran test after test. Finally, I was put on anxiety meds. Switched doctors and he ran blood work again and now I am on thyroid meds. I  just started a month ago but I am hoping this is the solution to my problems.
