Last year I fell pregnant with my son, 5 months into the pregnancy my partner started sweating In his sleep. It got that bad that Id wake up and be soaking, even thought I had wet myself or my waters had broken early. I changed sheets, duvets, even pillows and nothing helped. We have a king size bed aswell so it's not long we were side by side.
After having my son it died down a wee bit but I recently found out I'm expecting again. It has been warm this last week but it starting again and I can't deal with it. I'm not sleeping and I already feel I'm going to be exhausted this pregnancy so sleep is so important.
He works long hours and isn't home until late and with Xmas coming up we need the work so he's unable to take a day off to speak to a doctor. I feel it is going to effect our relationship because he just doesn't see or understand how his sweating is effecting everyday life. The bedroom stinks, I have to change the bedding daily and had to buy myself new pillows. My new mattress is ruined along with 2 duvets.
I've had enough! Please help, has anyone gone through this or anything similar? Anyone know how to deal with sweating without seeing a doctor. I would appreciate any advice or tips on how he can deal with this

I’m not sure personally but he definitely needs to see a doctor about it.
In the mean time to make your life a bit easier, it might be worth looking into the night pads they make for kids. I’m pretty sure they just stick on top of your sheets and soak up pee for kids who still wet the bed... in his case soak up his sweat and you can change every morning and hopefully save on changing the sheets every day. You’d probably need three in a line to cover his whole. Okay but worth trying. They don’t give that plastic feel either, they are soft.
Get your mattress cleaned professionally then by yourself a good mattress protector. The swest and stains and stink go into that instead of your mattress. Put an extra towel underneath his side of the bed to try soak up any residue swest until he sees a doctor. Wash your linen etc in disinfectant and hang in the full sun for a day. Doctors are open till 9pm and open at 6am, he can't see a doc in these hours?
He really needs to see a GP and have bloods done as this can be a sign or something serious! Make an app for him and make him go!
Potential heart issues. Go to the doctor!!!
