Hello Autumn?
Yesterday was LOVELY! It was cool, rainy and overcast, today the sun is back! Now normally I love the hot weather but these Postpartum Hot Flashes are really doing a number on me!
Anyone else experience the Postpartum Hot Flashes?
It’s a completely normal response to your fluctuating (and dropping) levels of oestrogen and increase in prolactin (if breast feeding) similar to menopausal symptoms many new mums experience them at night hence the well known night sweats, this is the first time (that I can remember!) getting them through the day though and it’s really annoying and inconvenient!!
Loose clothing
Using a Fan
Reducing Caffeine
Any more tips on how to cope greatly welcomed!
