Eww...

Okay: I am 17 weeks and I am having MASSIVE body odor issues.

Is it just me or has anyone else had this issue? I notice sometimes my body gets "used" to different deodorant formulas and I have to switch (kind of like shampoos) but this is extreme. Could hormones be the culprit? Could soap possibly be the culprit? (I recently changed soaps.)

TIA.

omg, I was wondering this too, but was too embarrassed to ask! I feel like my deodorant just doesn't work as well, but i also wasn't sure if i was just becoming more sensitive to smell. i've also noticed my roommates pets are grossing me out as well bc they're "dirty"

pregnancy is making me nuts! haha

oh, and im 15w3d

I'm having that problem with *my* animals! We keep our litter box and rat cage clean, but I feel like the entire apartment reeks of dirty litter and rat pee. D: Nobody else can smell it, but it's driving me mad.

Oh no... now I'm worried about my bunny cage when I get pregnant! I keep it clean, but it still reeks of rabbit pee smell... and I'm not even pregnant yet!

Of course, I've always had a super heightened sense of smell... so maybe it won't get much worse.

I had something like this happen one day, I could swear the back of the house smelled like my cat took a really nasty poop in his box but my husband told me he didn't smell anything.

omg I was like that with my last pregnancy. I tried a lot of deoderants and non worked all day for me. I had to carry a small deoderant with me all the time and use it through the day. what sucks is I had to use it so much it ruined some of my shirts.

Hormones, totally. It is worse for me this time around. I'm just smellier.

Could be hormones!
I recently had to switch to a super strong antiperspirant b/c it was getting out of control *embarrassed* The wetness causes the odor, so once I got rid of that it was all well and I wasn't running to the bathroom all the time to sniff and wash. Gah that's so gross to admit *hides under a rock* Ah pregnancy how I love thee ;).

Totally horomones! I had to switch deoderants,shampoo,conditioner,lotions,ext... all my normal products seemed to smell like cat urine once mixed with my body odor. I now use degree for men, dove shampoo's and soaps,and J&J lotions. Good luck!
