2nd Trimester

So do I just stink now, or am I more sensitive?

I've never really had a BO problem (that I could tell, anyway), but the past week or so I smell myself all the time. Yesterday, I was about to take a 2nd shower b/c I could smell myself just 4 hours after I showered. Maybe a new deodorant would help? Or is my sense of smell just heightened?

  • It might be your sense of smell.  I can smell a hormone on DH that drives me CRAZY, in a bad way.  It makes me want to puke.  I had him throw his cologne, deoderant and hair wax away before I realized it was just him.  Some days it's stronger than others.  I also feel I can smell myself more.  I asked him if he could smell me, and he said no, so I guess it's just my nose.

    My nose is like a bloodhound and I suddenly seem to stink..  I was seriously paranoid as to me it's pretty pungent! I asked my DH and he couldn't smell me. Hoping it's just my superior nose and not a new BO issueHmm

  • I'm sure you don't stink! I have noticed that my hands get a smell to them that I can't stand, which is weird because I wash my hands A LOT; especially going to the bathroom as much as I do. It must be a heightened smell thing though, because they smell really sweaty to me somehow and it's really odd.

  • So happy you said this! I've been freaking out for the past few days about my smell - something along the lines of wet dog!! It's AWFUL. My DH swears he can't smell me, but I swear I wreak. The worst is when the back of my thighs start to sweat while sitting on a hard surface.  I'm almost tempted to start putting deodorant on my entire body!! Blah. I guess it's just one of those super fun pregnancy things!
  • Your not the only one I have noticed it too and asked DH and he said "no" he would tell me if I really did stink. I can smell everything! I am like a bloodhound and sometimes it is really annoying!

  • The other day at work I was smelling a very strong odor of onions ALL day. I did not have any onions, I brushed my teeth, was chewing on him, confirmed it was not Bo. My co workers said they couldn't smell a thing. It drove me crazy!
  • I switched to Secret Clinical Strength, and it does wonders... I swear I started stinking more, DH says I didn't, but whatever, I can't smell myself now so I'm happy!
