smells

I'm on my 5th baby. Everything I mean everything smells to me, to the point I throw up. I can't even use body wash, deo, shampoo, nothing, and I mean nothing. Same with my man it will make me ill. At work I have to walk away from customers too. I have never had the nausea symptoms and been this sensitive to smells during a pregnancy before. I have even had twins and didn't go through this. ):

  • I know the feeling this time around I'm barely starting to get nauseous but I'm super sick with either a really bad cold or even the flu. But my 1st through 3rd pregnancy I was the exact same way. Even stuff that I normally love I couldn't stand.
  • Normal, everyday smells don't bother me. But, the other night we sautéed onions for dinner, and the next morning I couldn't go in the kitchen without gagging. Then tonight I was chopping onions for a soup, and barely got through it. I don't remember onions bothering me my last pregnancy, but this time is killer!
  • Today at my Sunday school the man in front of me had coffee that made me gag, then the lady next to me took her shoes off. Oh my goodness I thought I was going to lose it. I smell everything now. It's amazing the horrible a smells that I was "missing" out on!
  • I went to change the baby 3 times this weekend, convinced it was going to be a bad blow out and there was no poop.  I told DH he had to change because his jacket stunk terribly.  That sense of smell is crazy.  Pepper at restaurants is also terrible. 

  • @ThisisNumber3 I am having the same issue with our baby. I pick her up and smell her bum multiple times a day thinking I smell poop! My husband looked at me weird the first few times then finally asked what the heck I was doing. I smell poop!
  • I can smell everything. It all makes me gag. Even delicious smells are too much and will even make my head hurt. A few days ago at work this woman was going to the restroom a couple of stalls down, this is totally disgusting by the way. And I heard her kind of grunt or have this sigh of relief and then all of the sudden my stall reeked! I literally gagged. So every time I go to the bathroom I panic a little. I can smell it all!
  • Every year, after people have been wearing winter coats for a couple of months, the subway becomes unbearably smelly. The coats smell like cigarettes, greasy restaurants, or worse. It's kind of like the house smell thing where people don't notice their own coat smells. 

    Since I'm pregnant, I can already smell the coats and the subway is a tough place to be (between the motion and the smells). I can't imagine how smelly it will be in March/April (when it normally starts to stink).

  • For me, it's my dog's scent. He has never smelled super fresh, but now he just reeks of dog poop all the time! We got him groomed this weekend and he still stunk! DH says he can't smell anything, of course. I know it's not his fault, but it's getting hard to be around him!

  • I think about this all the time.  No vomiting, but everything smells to me.  At this point, being outside, in negative degree weather, is preferable to the smells sometimes!

  • I literally take a trash can to sit next to me when I change my sons dirty diapers. I cannot control it the smell literally gets me every time.
