third trimester smell sensitivity?

misskates999

Okay, I'm 32 weeks and for the past month or so I've become really sensitive to bad smells. Never in my life until now have I literally gagged from a smell, now it has happened 4-5 times. I've never heard of this as a late pregnancy symptom, has anyone else experienced this?

I've heard that is a pregnancy symptom throughout the entire thing.  But I can say that it got way worse entering the 3rd tri for me this time around...

I don't like mustard - the taste makes me gag. The smell, I just don't like, but I tolerate it. Well, we played a baby shower game at a friends shower - where you look/smell the baby diaper to see "what baby ate". One was mustard. For some reason, it didn't look like mustard, so I stuck in my nose! Almost lost my lunch! I can also smell DH's beer can from clear across the room, and for some reason, it smells terrible!

For the past week I have been smelling DOG every time I walk into our apartment! DH says I'm crazy and it's pregnancy nose... I don't want to be a slob! LOL

Mine has gotten way worse in the last few weeks. I work in a veterinary hospital, and we have some rank smells that venture through there, but human body odor seems to be one of the worst ones.

I noticed the sensitive sniffer early on in my pregnancy, and the last couple of weeks (we're 31 weeks now) it has come back with a vengeance!  Yeesh, I smell EVERYTHING now. 
Even with the good smells, it's a bad thing.... hey, someone in this county is making cookies, I NEED A COOKIE NOW!! LOL

My smell sensitivity is definitely worse in the 3rd tri than it was in the first. I've also been nauseous at least a couple times a week, which I never was in the first tri - I had zero morning sickness and my digestive track generally just seems weaker.
