Pregnant after IF

My nose is driving DH crazy

My sense of smell has been so insane lately that it is driving DH crazy. I came home the other day and could tell that DH cooked a whole package of bacon hours earlier. Just now he was eating a cucumber in the same room as me and I asked him to go somewhere else because the smell was making me want to yak. I also asked him if he would shower twice a day because his BO is bothering me. He looked at me like I had three heads. His exact response was "it is going to be a long 9 months if even the smell of me makes you sick." Ha!

Re: My nose is driving DH crazy

  • Oh I hear ya. I'm so sensitive to smells you would think I was part bloodhound!! DH hasn't been allowed to cook bacon during this whole pregnancy or I would vomit!!

    I found that candles help. I bought a bunch of candles and reed diffusers in smells I like and can handle and keep then near me! I like vanilla best because it smells like cookies!!

    Good luck!!!

  • Me too!!!  I always had a good sense of smell, but now it's ridiculous!!!  It drives me crazy because even good smells are sort of bad because they are too overwhelming sometimes.

  • My nose super power hasn't kicked in yet.  I don't really have a good sense of smell to begin with, so maybe it never will kick in.  The only thing I am noticing now is when our dog smells dirty (and I couldn't smell that before).  Yuck.
    Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
