coworker's perfume is killing me!

BronzeMama

My supervisor knows I'm 10 weeks and knows that I have debilitating m/s. I've asked her how to handle the coworker in the next cubicle, who uses glade plug ins (in the office!) and has some sort of super spectacular hand lotion that will waft through the entire floor. Since i sit next to her, all it does it make my stomach churn and prompt my pregnancy migraines.

 I had to leave work early yesterday because of the migraines and nausea. I almost didn't make it to the bathroom and then to my car. 

When there is no smell, i feel perfectly fine.

What to do? My coworkers do not know that I'm pregnant.

I'm surprised that your coworker hasn't been asked to kill the smells already as a lot of people have allergies.  You could let her know that you think you've developed an allergy to the scent she's using and ask her to kindly unplug them.  Many people are also against those scents because they are toxic, so you could go that route to and ask that she kindly unplugs them as you don't want to be breathing that in.  Either way it's kind of awkward but she should understand.

Have you tried getting a small fan to blow the smell back her way?  Perfumes kill me even when Im not prego especially the ones that smell like old lady.  Get some eucalyptus or lavender oil and put under your nose.  That way your smelling something calming vs her loud odors.

Maybe you should talk to her. Since your boss isn't. Good luck.

I'd ask ur boss to address it directly or go with allergy story.

I highly sympathize, I almost did not make it with strong raw onion smell in the cube across yesterday ...
