Body odor

Gross but has anyone else been experiencing strong under arm body odor since having their baby? I have never had this, could apply deoderant once after showering and still smell fresh at the end of a 12 hour shift in the hospital. Now I shower, put it on, and a couple hours later STINK! Gotta be hormones but what the heck? Is this forever? Anyone else experiencing this?

    Yep. Its bad. I use certain DRI at night and always have but its not working as well lately. Its still better than any other anti perspirant in my opinion. I hate being able to smell myself!

    Omg yes, I was seriously hoping it was just the hormones and that I wasn't the only one. Deodorant used to be a once a day or after the shower kind of thing, now I feel like I have to reapply it a couple times a day or I stink!! And I still shower daily!! So it's not cuz I'm dirty!!

    It has to be our hormones out of whack still! I just hope it ends soon. I'm so sick of stinking. :-q

    I totally blamed the new bad sweat smell on my pre/post-natal vitamins... Didn't even consider hormones. I have the same problem too. Never did I smell this way until after having the baby. I hope it changes eventually. I literally reapply deodorant before bed. It's gross.

    Ha! It was like a switch flipped the moment I gave birth. After that, I stunk and my deo didnt work! I switched deos, and it's better, but I still stink after an hour or two. UGH, hormones!

    Thought I was crazy haha apparently not! I was thinking that bacteria was a problem because I bathe daily but my body wash is not antibacterial. So I soak a cotton ball with peroxide and swab it. Whoops.
