HOT flashes 8 months postpartum??

I have been having the worst hot flashes for the past few weeks and my baby just turned 8 months.

Anyone else breaking out?

Lately I’ve been started to break out so much more… I have small breakouts popping up on my cheeks. One will go away and then another pops up elsewhere 😫 I’m having a baby girl so I’m thinking maybe because estrogen and progesterone levels are peaking? Idk 😭
