Smells

madalien · September 2011

Ugghh, I know it is normal, but my sense of smell is getting to me. My fiancee and I are clean people, but my house has this stale metallic smell to it, and it is making me sick. He doesn't smell it. We are all about burning oil and incense, but those smells are getting to me too. Any advice??

It will slowly go back to normal. With my last pregnancy I could smell a dead mouse at work and no one else could. They all called me crazy. The next day they found it. I could not handle it. So gross.

This pregnancy I keep kids in my home, and the only problem thus far is dirty diapers! And I have 4 in diapers!!!

I cannot stand to open the fridge. Something in there SMELLS. DH cannot smell it so I have no clue what it is. It sucks.

For my first pregnancy, it got better at around 16 weeks. I still had VERY sensitive smell, but at least it didn't make me sick.

I didn't have a problem at all with my first pregnancy but with this one I can't handle smells - there's a house down the street from me that I walk by everyday - something in their yard - OMG it's horrible! Hopefully you feel better soon!

My first tri last time was definitely the worst! I STILL have several Yankee Candles and Slatskin (sp) scentports that make me gag just thinking about them! Hang in there, it will get better!

I naturally have "super smell" and no one can ever smell what I am smelling, but I have noticed that now I dial into certain smells more, like pee. I swear everywhere I go, something smells like pee!

i remember with my 1st pregnacy my sense of smell was strong the whole pregnancy. It has already started for me. My sense of smell is definitly strong.

One day, outside, all these flies came out of nowhere and we couldn't find the cause. My husband thought it was ok to get a disposable fly trap bag and hang it on a tree a bit in the far back of the backyard. I was sitting outside one night and this terrible smell of rotting flesh hit me. I asked my husband if there was a dead animal in the yard. He said no it was the fly bag. Yum.

I found out the smell of fresh cut lemons or lemons in general help with my nausea and smell senitivity.

Our place smells like wet dog to me. There has been no dog in the family for over 20 years. I febreezed some furniture, which helped for a bit, but not completely.
