Including myself. I have to shower twice a day.

I have to hold my breath when dh hugs me HE STINKS.

I've been changing the bed sheets every other day or I cant sleep.

I haven't been in the living room for two weeks because all I can smell is cat.

9 weeks and miserable!

Before I got pregnant - many years ago - I put a nice-smelling jar of hand cream in the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet at work.

After I got pregnant, I couldn't even open that drawer. I had to ask a colleague to go in there and chuck it out, whilst I was out of the room.

A work colleague ate mackerel salad MACKEREL - mid morning, at their desk in a hot office with me down wind.

I still haven't forgiven them..

And there was the stench of why could only be described as festering open sewer in the milk aisle at tesco, thought I was going to simultaneously throw up and pass out, no one else seemed to notice but I just couldn't go there again - a couple of weeks later the store closed due to "problems with drainage" - so the sensitivity does serve a purpose

Oh god I remember this well. I thought that my own house STUNK, then the air freshener I used made it even worse. I hated cooking smells, washing, my body lotion, the poor dog got neglected, I was convinced my car smelt horrible. I used to put an extra pillow between mine and DH's heads at night because I thought his breath smelt rank. I could smell coffee and cigarette smoke from miles away. It was bloody horrendous and the worst part was that a particularly horrible waft would make me vom instantly, without warning!
It got a bit better towards the end of my pregnancy but never left me until after DD arrived.
Saying that, a few of the above things still don't smell very nice but I think that's because they remind me of feeling so ill. I still can't use the same moisturiser, for example.
