I stink

[Sandstormbrewing]

I stink, of BO. Pits and bits. Seems to be a new phenomenon only started in my second trimester. I'm a clean person, shower daily and wash with soap and give myself a wash before bed. I wear clean clothes and antiperspirant. But I stink!

I think it's that I actually smell more rather than I have a heightened sense of smell as my sense of smell is generally excellent anyway.

Anyone else had this? I'm sure it wasn't like this with DS. Any solutions?

I noticed earlier in pregnancy I was aware my a scent down below and like you, very clean etc. I bought scented panty liners and I've felt so much better for it. Plus, the weather has cooled so think that helps.

For what it's worth, I read up about it and it is really common, I think it was like 60% of women experience it and that it would not be noticeable to others x

Yep me too, only 6 weeks but I feel very aware of how I smell

I'm 6 months post baby ... still stink! I keep my bits trimmed short, arm pits shaved and clothes are only worn once.

I was having really bad BO problems. I stopped using conventional deoderant and switched to using a bar of plain white soap and rubbing diluted apple cider vinegar or lemon juice onto my armpits. It's like a miracle!!

Yes, and apparently it's very common.

My SIL have been lapping pregnancies for the last 2 years, and we spent one morning using euphemisms about "needing to shower more" until one of us just came out and said "why does no one tell you how bad your doot will smell?!"

Pregnancy is fucking disgusting.
