Night sweats ?

Hi , I'm due april 25th and last night about 5 am I woke up all sweaty. It was the first time this had happened. I was having braxton hix but I was able to go back to sleep. Anyone else have night sweats towards the end ?

Yes, but not with any connection to labor. I was just hot They were nothing compared to the post partum sweats!!

Yes, I had them a bit toward the end of my pregnancy but as with PP, my night sweats after giving birth are 100% times worse.  I literally wake up to nurse, stand up, and feel it dripping down my skin.  I have to keep a new pillow nearby because my other one gets wet.  And I have had to change my PJs in the middle of the night because they are so wet.

But my edema and belly swelling are decreasing.  I joke with DH that I must be sweating it away.
