Because of her hyperhidrosis, Kristen was nervous about becoming a mom. But, she went for it. She knew in her heart she wanted to be a mom, and she knew – similar to her relationship, career, and other life milestones – that she’d figure it out, one drop at a time.

Today, Kristen is the sweaty mama to an 8-month old baby boy. And she couldn’t be happier.

In this episode, host Karina sits down with Kristen Hernandez, creator of How to Hyperhidrosis and physician assistant, to talk about the joys and challenges of early motherhood with hyperhidrosis.

Kristen discusses:

• What pregnancy with primary hyperhidrosis was like
• How her sweating changed after she had her baby
• The challenges in the early days and some tips she learned along the way
• Why receiving blankets are her best friend
• Night sweats and how she coped
• How she managed breastfeeding with excessive sweating
• How her and her husband split baby carrying
• What she’s been most surprised about
• How she’s planning on talking to her children about HH
• Where she’s at today, 8 months postpartum

Whether you’re considering having kids, you're pregnant, or you’re a new mom, this conversation will leave you feeling less alone in your hyperhidrosis journey.
