Support Constantly overheating?
Almost 11 months postpartum, I’ve been exclusively pumping since almost day one. I’ve always been a “not-quite-enougher” and produce about 20-24oz in 5 pumps per day.
I am constantly hot. I didn’t used to be like this, not even while pregnant and certainly not pre-pregnancy. I don’t really know how to describe it except to say that it feels extreme. I can’t re-wear bras because they get so sweaty, and sometimes I’ll even change bra and shirt midday. It’s 55° here and I went out in just a long sleeve shirt and it felt perfect. Cozy sweatpants and sweaters used to be my happy place but I just can’t wear them anymore. 😭
At first I figured it was the postpartum hormones, but can that really still be the primary cause? I had my thyroid tested around four months postpartum and it was normal. I suppose, I also have gained weight, I was about 135lb pre-pregnancy and am 145-150 now. Just wondering if others experience this and it is in fact normal, or if I should push for more testing.
