- [Postpartum Sweating And Night Sweats After Birth: What Is Normal and Why It Happens](https://blog.bloume.com/postpartum/symptoms/postpartum-sweating-night-sweats-after-birth/article.md): Waking up drenched in the weeks after birth is common, and it has a clear physical cause. After delivery your oestrogen falls sharply, and your body also works to shed the extra fluid you carried during pregnancy. Both can bring on heavy sweating, especially at night. For most people it settles within a few weeks, though it can last longer if you are breastfeeding. This article covers why it happens, how long it tends to last, what can help with comfort, and when to contact your GP.
