body temperature issues?

Question

I'm about 3 weeks postpartum now.. and having a lot of trouble staying warm.. I am constantly cold and a little shivery (no fever) and then randomly burning up and sweating! Our house is already set like 8 degrees warmer than a usually keep it and I still find myself adding layers.. is this normal???

Answer

That happened to me. Sucked bc my baby runs very hot. So I had to keep the AC on even though I was always freezing. I dealt with it by wearing socks and a winter hat at all times! He's 14 weeks now and I don't always feel cold anymore.

Answer

Normal. I get really cold at night, like the ac is on in the house and my husband is warm.

Answer

I'm the exact opposite. I'm one week postpartum and constantly feel like I'm in a sauna. Sweat is literally dripping down at times so even tho it's in the 40s/30s where I live I walk around wearing tank tops 😂

Answer

Your hormones can take a long time to return to normal. I've been experience this as well, 5 weeks pp.

Answer

I'm 21 weeks pp and still having this issue. I've been told it's to do with hormones leaving your system. I just layer up and stick by my space heater.
