Hot flushes.. Sweating... Blurry eyes...

Hey girlies,

I have noticed since giving birth about 1-2wks
after that i'm soo much hotter then I previously
was... I'm sweating more and am clammy and hot
all the time.

Then I seem to set even hotter "hot flushes" and
I'm soaked through the night!

I was solely breast feeding but have decided
to combi feed due to feeling like I have no milk
in my breasts coz of constant feeding!

I've also noticed my vision and hearing has
changed...tried to make a eyesight test, I wear
glasses, and was told u have more fluid in your
body after pregnancy and it pushes on your optic
nerve!

Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm not going
through "the change" am I?

    I have been SO hot, I cant believe how hot I am all the time when I used to always feel cold. I have also had blurry vision here and there but thought I was just tired! x

    Ive not really noticed anything with my eyes, but after my dd was born 3 yrs ago I was terrible for sweating it was awful... I was always dripping... it lasted about 8 weeks after birth and then settled down, I was told it was hormones and excess fluids... I have it this time but no where near as bad.

    Hope ur ok xx

    hot sweats!! remember them well. lot of us bfing mummies in bimarch had night sweats. i used to wake up wet through. it settles down though! i have not had any for a couple of months. have you woken up in the night convinced you are bfing your baby, who is actually fast asleep in their basket yet?!?! i asked huby on a few occasions to please take the baby off me as i was so tired and she was no where near me. one night i woke him to ask him to take the baby off me while i fed our daughetr, convinced i was feeding a random baby.
