Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and after reviewing your case history:
1. Yes, due to low level of estrogen during IIIrd Trimester, it sends wrong signal to the hypothalamus which causes more heat formation/production from the body (otherwise it is a natural phenomenon)
2. Shatavari can be taken during the course of pregnancy (it is confirmed by studies conducted on pregnant female) but do let me know what formulation you are taking ( shatavri XXXXXXX or powder) as it is a natural coolant (sheet virya) so cannot be cause of night sweat.
3. However do consult an experienced/ qualified gynecologist or Ayurveda Prasooti Roga Physician (interaction) for any other hidden pathology.
