Hormones!

Kwest1007 · September 2015

Anyone still experiencing hormone shifts? One min I'm filled with excitement (similar to that anxious excitement prior to her arrival) and other times I'm over sensitive (which I'm not usually a sensitive person, lol). I'm also still sweating A LOT at night and having occassional cold sweats. LO will be 4 weeks Monday. Anyone else still experiencing these things? N in addition to this.. Anyone else still feel like they've been kicked in the vagina?

3.5 weeks and Yes to all! Although the reason I'm still sore is I just found out by looking in a mirror that my stitches healed my lady parts wrong and I now have a gaping hole in my labia.. gotta call my ob about that tomorrow. Eww.

Baby is 3 weeks 2 days and I'm having mood swings, actually more so now than when I was pregnant. Im wondering if my awesome sleep deprivation is the main culprit of the moods. Ive also been having hot flashes and waking up in cold sweats. I didn't tear or anything down there and have barely had any bleeding since pp day 3 so ino complaints there. A few more weeks of hormonal shedding and we might be feeling more like ourselves!

7 weeks PP and I am still sweating! But not moody or sensitive anymore. That went away about 4 weeks PP. It does get better.

Thanks, me too! Took a lot of courage to not only look, but to stay down there long enough to poke around and really check it out. I really hope you don't have quite the surprise I did and that you're back to normal!

Yes to occasional night sweats. Does anyone still walk kind of funny due to vaginal delivery? I just feel weird down there...like things could just fall out but obviously they won't. I looked down there the other day and swear I could see a stitch sort of hanging out (other than that it's all fairly normal). OMG I'm dreading my 6 week appointment :-S

My OB told me our bodies don't totally get back to normal for a year after delivery. Our hormones can be whack for awhile unfortunately.

I woke up with the sheets stuck to me because I was sweating so much, then an hour later have to throw on layers and change the temperature of the house since I get cold. I've been pretty emotional as well-- starting with crying after delivery and couldn't pee, so the nurse had to use a catheter on me. I told my husband if I couldn't pee on my own how could I expect to take care of the baby. It's gotten a lot better since then. I'm 10 days PP and feeling a lot better down there... but going to ask the OB if it will ever be anywhere close to normal.

Did u get a peri bottle? That's the only way I could pee early on and it really helped (actually just stopped using it a few days ago!!) also I held my bladder the other day n had to use bottle.. It hurt so bad! Lesson learned!

I'll be 3 weeks postpartum on Tuesday I've dealt with sweat until 2 weeks now I'm just dealing with uncomfortable stitches, I tore on the inside not out, and mood swings. The mood swings are definitely killer

A little over 4 weeks and this has been the easiest recovery for me in comparison to DS. I I feel totally normal. I've been working out so I attest my pelvic soreness to that. Night sweats are gone (had those bad until around 2 weeks PP) and I don't feel overly emotional. Hope you all start feeling back to *normal* soon.

6 weeks:
Cold sweats. Check.
Otherwise I think my hormones have pretty much mellowed out.

bpwife&mama · September 2015

I'm 6 weeks PP on Thursday and I feel great. No more cold sweats. I can get somewhat emotional sometimes, but nothing crazy. No more bleeding or pain either. I've been working out for 2 weeks now. DH has a consultation for a vasectomy on Oct 16th and I'm looking forward to getting that ball rolling...
