5 days after giving birth: CRAZY sweating! Anyone else?

I'm not kidding you, I wake up SOAKED every time after I go to sleep for a nap. And no joke I am drooling in my sleep like crazy as well. Sooo weird! Anyone else have this after giving birth? This has been going on for about two or three days now...Very interesting!  I assume it's just the body's way of getting rid of some of the extra fluid maybe? ??

    I did that until just the last few days.... it is the hormones regulating too...

    It WILL go away... I promise:)

    Yeah, that's exactly what it is. A friend warned me about this when I was close to my due date and I had never heard of it before. It doesn't last too long though. :)

    Yes, it was awful. I had hot flashes too. It takes a few weeks to go away. I was super swollen from all the IVs and couldn't see my ankles for a few weeks too. Drink lots of water so you don't get dehydrated (helps your supply for BF too). It will go away soonl

    Hormones. Eew. lol

    What PP said, it's the hormones. My BFF is a post partum nurse and told me to expect it.

    Yep - the sweating, drooling, hot flashes, and peeing a ton the first few weeks. It does go away...and then the post-partum hair loss will begin. Fun, huh?

    I had horrible night sweats and hot flashes.  I'd go from burning hot and sweating to freezing cold.  It was awful.  It lasted until 1.5-2 weeks postpartum.

    The night sweats were awful. I couldn't figure out if I was sweating, my boobs were leaking or if I had peed in the bed.

    Yes!  I think this took a couple weeks to subside for me.  I actually thought it was residual from the fever I ran during labor (101!), but I guess it's normal

    This lasted about a week for me.  Then it returned about 3 weeks after birth off and on randomly for another week or so.  I woke up soaked many times too.  I hated it.  It was so hard to feel clean between sweating, bleeding, breastmilk, etc.  LOL

    It'll pass!

    Hate to say it but it lasted 2 long months for me.... I would change my shirt AT LEAST twice during the night. I am not a sweater so this was so weird/gross for me.

    Yup!  I would also wake up in the middle of the night freezing cold and unable to get warm.  My teeth would be chattering!  It was awful.
