Deodorant not working

[lockdownbabyx]

Il be 8 weeks on Sunday and I swear my deodorant has just stopped working? Lol. I shower daily and always immediately put on deodorant once I'm dry. Never had any issues. But the last couple of days I have been a little smelly after only a few hours! Not a really bad smell, but enough for me to notice it and I hate it. I'm not even overly hot or sweaty. Is this a normal thing to happen during pregnancy or am I losing the plot? 😂

Normal!
It was even worse when breastfeeding to start with. I swear I smelt of onions.
I had to change to a cream deodorant, it was a Sure one. Did the trick!

@Megan2018 thanks so much! Will give that a try. Glad I'm not losing the plot 😂. Learn something new about pregnancy every day lol x

The cream/stick/roll on deodorants are so much better than sprays.
It's more likely your increased sense of smell that is making you feel like you are a bit pongy though. Everything smells pungent to me, it's super annoying. In the 1st trimester I'd be gipping under my mask in the supermarket if people were wearing a lot of perfume/aftershave.

@Chelyanne thank you, I do currently use Sanex roll on and have for years. Maybe il try a cream one though.
My sense of smell is definitely heightened too, I've had to get my DP to change his shampoo because I can't stand the smell of it 😂.

I reek since getting pregnant! It must be the hormones although I wasn't this bad first time round. I thought it would get better after the first trimester but it's not. I also use Sanex roll on but it does nothing for me anymore, nor does Dove roll on.

Thank goodness I WFH

@BeesAnkles mad isn't it? Who knew pregnancy could make us smell bad 😂. I had never heard of that before.
I'm currently furloughed so that's a blessing in disguise at the moment I guess. I can hide my pregnancy and no one has to get a whiff of me lol xx

I thought this was just me, my DH is sick of me saying I smell (actually just my right arm pit) I swapped to a roll on and it seems to be a bit better.

Who knew this was normal eh.

@PutOnAHappyFace I genuinely can't believe how common it is. I spoke to my mum who has had 5 kids and she had never heard of it either. I'm glad it's normal though and I'm not the only one stinking out their partner 😂 x

I had this too. Even DP could smell it. I reeked but after a few weeks it calmed down. My midwife said it was hormones

Look at what we have to go through 😂 i started using Mitchum Deodorant and its done the trick! So good! Xx

This happened to me when pregnant - stopped as soon as I started washing with a bar of soap rather than shower gel I didn't even need to change deodorant.

Oh yeah, the way I smelled in the mornings used to set off my morning sickness. Bleugh. I'm not sure anyone else could smell it though.

We also had one room I swore smelled vile. No one else could smell it. Eventually figured out it was (fairly) recently painted and I could suddenly still smell the new(ish) paint.

Thank you to all you ladies! I'm glad this is all normal. I'm sure il have lots more pregnancy related issues crop up in the coming months 😂

Yes get the Sure (Clean Scent is my favourite) that is more a stick. It costs a fiver or so but lasts a lot longer than regular deodorants.

Normal, and my feet smelt too! But it all went back to normal one the baby arrived.
