Yes! In my last pregnancy I would stand outside the local swimming pool while walking the dog to smell the chlorine. Must have looked like a right nutter 😂

Yep!! Tesco own bleach kitchen spray.

Dettol Apple spray 😍

How funny that we’re all disinfectant related! Ooh chlorine, hadn’t thought of that one 😂

I couldn't get enough of astonish or star drops pine disinfectant spray throughout all my pregnancy and it's carried on post delivery. I was actually devastated when Astonish changed the scent of their pine spray recently and I'm not ashamed to say I spent some time in the Range checking the manufacture dates on the bottles to get some of the older smelling ones!! Haha

Yes the smell of bleach. I was very anemic and think it was mild pica as I struggled not to taste it which obviously would have been catastrophic

Oh I'm not alone! I couldn't get enough of the pink chlorhexidine we use at work. It just smelt sooooo good. Very weird. I really miss sniffing it. I got told off for constantly smelling it... Bit i couldn't help it.

Also do like the smell of bleach too. So clean.

Yes! When I was pregnant I craved the smell of rubber, so much so that I would smell boxes of rubber bands from the stationary cupboard at work! I was caught once, got some funny looks Blush

Oh my god yes! I didn't when I was pregnant first time but this time I love certain smells! Musty smells are the best, slightly damp laundry, the car heater coming on, the air coming out of the hoover but also coop anti bac surface cleaner and fresh laundry. So wierd. Also can't get enough of crunchy textures so the grit on he pavement is a dream, hoovered up some sugar the other day and I was in heaven with the smell of the hoover too! Might sprinkle some sugar on the floor just to recreate! I'd love to chew some gravel too 😁

The Lenor Scent Boosters Lavish scent. I cried in ASDA because I couldn't eat them... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Jodie77 · 02/12/2019 18:32

Tbh when I'm having a bad day I sometimes go have a few whiffs of the fabric conditioner. I'm not sure if it's the comforting familiar smell or the deep breaths but it usually makes me feel better. I'm not pregnant now, but I was when I first did that.

I used to suck the bubbles off my flannel as a kid so maybe I've always been a weirdo.

In my local hospital it's really old in some parts and the bit you walk through to get to the MAU absolutely stinks of damp and you can feel the moisture in the air it's so wet and musty and dusty smelling BUT I LOVE IT I even hover around the lift for a minute giving it a whiff.

StarlyBeee · 02/12/2019 21:53

Haha yes! Soil 😂🤣😂🤣

SparePantsAndLego · 02/12/2019 21:55

Bleach! It helped ease my nausea. My bathroom has never been as clean as it was when I was pregnant!

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/12/2019 21:58

Dry sherry, weirdly.
I don't even like the taste of it but I loved the smell, I worked in a bar at the time to easy to get a wee sniff!
I ate sponges too.

nataliemum25 · 03/12/2019 03:55

Lemon shake n vac, pine toilet duck I could just eat it x

Sar1520 · 03/12/2019 05:12

I go nuts over smells, people think I'm nesting when I just love smelling things my floors and worktops stink of zoflora, lemon scents and lenor spring awakening I could just smell all day
