TMI alert: Body Odour

Has anyone else noticed that their armpits pong more when they are pregnant, or is just my super-developed sense of smell?

I have found that I stink by late afternoon/evening - even when I use Lady Mitchum deodorant which is supposed to last for 48 hours.

Fortunately our office has a gym and shower, so I can have a quick freshen-up in there.

But I can't be the only one out there who has this problem ... can I ?

No, it's not just you - there's at least 2 of us!
And they smell of onions, even tho I haven't eaten any 4 ages....
Doesn't help with the nausea much
If you find any way to reduce it, please let me know!

Mine don't, but I notice other people's ponging pits now...

It happened to me for around 2-3 weeks (around my 14th-15th week)- it was horrid! But I put two and two together and figured it was also down to increased stress levels - had a series of house guests at the time and was finding it difficult to cope with work home etc.
Try drinking lots of water, and try and find some serious relaxation time if you can. I used to resort to washing under the arms several times a day... but had to be very vigilant...
