Anyone else's boobs smell like cheese?

I have sweat like a pig this whole pregnancy, but now my boobs are starting to smell kind of like babies and cheese. I only notice in the evening, but it might be an around the clock thing. Do you release chemicals from your chest region that your baby will like or something? Maybe I am just bigger and smellier now that I am in my final weeks, but 2-3 showers a day is getting tiring.

I have actually had this problem for a while. Before getting PG I was a B cup now that my tatas have ballooned to double Ds, they sweat all the time. I actually thought it smelled like hot wings, but now that you said cheese, I guess that could be it too. I have no idea why there is this strange odor. Hope you find some answers from this post.

Lol well mine don't smell like cheese but they definitely don't smell like roses either!  I've been waking up sweating too a lot, I feel for ya!  And then I got sick from falling asleep with the fan on so I have no choice but to be sick, smelly and sweaty, ew.....

This just makes me giggle...  Can you smell it when your head it at a normal angle, or are you trying to smell them?  Either way, makes me giggle. 

I haven't smelled anything different, but I haven't tried to either.

Lol, "my boobs smell" was going to be my Friday confession.  Smells like babies

Are you starting to leak colostrum?  Maybe that's it.  I haven't noticed anything with mine, sorry you have to deal with this!

It's my "under-boob" region that have a funky kinda smell I'm blaming it on sweat and hormones.

How the heck are you smelling your under boob region?? Are you pulling a Mary Katherine Gallagher and sticking your hands under there and "smelling them like this"!?

You guys are hysterically funny...I'm choking from laughing.  OMG!  lol

Lots of women have fungus growing that causes odor.  I'd mention it to your ob when you go in.  If it is fungus, they can give you a script for an antifungal cream/lotion (similar to those used for yeast infections).  Also, just my opinion, don't use baby powder because that will make it a really messy and smelly jungle down there.  Gold Bond powder might help a bit in the mean time...until you talk to your doctor.  

Wishing you happy breasts!  (((lol)))

This is hilarious, and also definitely (sadly) what I am going through. I actually asked my OB last week about it because I was convinced I had a yeast infection between/under my boobs. She said there was no rash, so she wouldn't prescribe anything, but to get some over the counter Lotrimin and put it on.

 Definitely smells like cheese. Gross. And it's the absolute worst when I wake up in the morning.
