I'm about 20 weeks right now. For the past few days, any time I go sit on the toilet, or undress for a shower, my crotch smells SO BAD. :( It smells like oatmeal and HAIR DYE.

What is wrong with me? I have an appointment on Monday so I figure no point to call the doc right now... unless you guys think it's serious. HELP!!

TMI but....

I swore through my last, and this pregnancy that I smelled bad, and according to my husband, and my doc, its just me. No one else seems to have noticed.

If you smell oatmeal it *could* be a yeast infection, in which case I would eat a lot of yogurt and have your doctor take a peek on monday.

Similar to what pinkgerbil said...It could just be you. One of those funky things that just comes with pregnancy. I remember a few months ago, when I was in my first trimester, I SWORE something had gone bad in our FREEZER. Every time I opened it up to put away groceries I'd gag. Well, one time it got the best of me and I ended up running to the bathroom and throwing up in our tub. Went back to the freezer after that, and all was well. I didn't smell a thing. So, it might just be one of those freaky things. But, I still think you should mention it to the doctor on Monday.

Also, since I'm of no help here since you're 20 weeks you should totally come join december2008!

I'll assume you haven't dyed your hair down there or anything. :)

What others said. Just check with your doc to make sure you don't have a yeast infection. And take probiotics. Yogurt is good for that.
