Does being up the duff give you B.O.?

[Aoifebelle]

Ladies I am not too shabby in the personal hygeine department, and since I have been up duffed I spend an inordinate amount of time in the bath/shower. Last night for example, spent a good hour in the bath, but this morning whiffy pits first thing. Did an hour of pilates and they positively reeked after that. Am I just a bit stinky, or has anyone else gotten a bit whiffier.

Yes, that happened to me too, albeit very briefly! There was about a 2 week period where nothing seemed to work, then just as suddenly I was back to normal. Good luck that it's the same for you

Your sense of smell is heightened during pregnancy, so maybe you are just more aware of it

I am defo more sweaty and smelly when pregnant. Hot all the time too.

This happ to me in the early days! I abs hummed and couldn't figure out why! I was having a shower every morning but by dinner I smelt rotten! I was spraying constantly! Anyway thankfully this only masted a few weeks then just disappeared!!! Hormones eh!!!

I definitely got more sweaty. Someone recommended an amazing deodorant to me that means you literally will not smell!! I don't know if me mentioning it on here counts as advertising? www.faithinnature.co.uk/Body-Deodorant/PID/78 I was skeptical but now I'm a total convert.

I feel sweatier and think I smell more (of garlicky sweat weirdly) but DH has confirmed I 100% don't. Think it's the sticky feeling + the heightened sense of smell.

Yes I am more stinky and never used to be. Shower twice a day sometimes.

There are some parts of pregnancy which remind me of going through puberty, and I feel like this is one of them. I feel like I get yucky faster and I have spots. It makes sense because of the raised hormone levels I guess.

Yeah its not just me! We are all stinky bitches. Completely agree about similarities with puberty. I keep remembering the 'chat' with my mum about how I had to have a shower everyday now, and pay particular attention to my pits and 'down there'. Ahhhh the circle of life.
