I cannot stand my daughters' smell

Hi everyone. I am in my 10th week and I am horribly sick (I have lost 17lb in 3 weeks).
What really bothers me at the moment is that I cannot stand the smell of DD1 (8) and DD2 (5). They smell to me a bit like a dirty fridge Sad. If they breathe in my face I am immediatly sick.
10-year-old DS does not seem to stink more than usual Wink.
Is this some evolutionary mechanism to detach a pregnant mother from her other children? I feel terrible when I have to pull away from a hug.

I used to make DH shower so much when I was pregnant, I hated the smell of humans, it was like a superpower (a rubbish one), I could sniff out a human from miles away, they were pungent to me!

Yes Tinsel exactly like that. Everyone reeks!
