Super smell

Okay, so this super smell thing is cool when I walk by a hedge of blackberries or catch the smell of the woods when it’s windy… I feel a little bit like a vampire in True Blood lol.

BUT
I feel like I smell bad all the time! It was never like this before! I asked husband and he said that it must just be the super smell because he can’t smell any BO.
Nothing like reaching for a cup of coffee (which smells beyond divine now) and taking a big whiff of armpit! Ugh!
I use natural deodorant (Native because they have a baking soda-free option and baking soda irritates me skin), shower every day and sometimes twice, and it’s just driving me MAD.
Did this happen to anyone else?

BTW pretty sure super smell is just nature’s way of preparing mums for YEARS of bad smells hehe.

I felt like a bloodhound. My sense of smell was unreal at one point. I felt like that too re the smell. Sort of weird BO/like I’ve been in the rain but my husband didn’t notice it at all. I think it’s just a case of us being super sensitive and everything being elevated by 100! X

@Megzj91 thanks so much for your response! It made me laugh and feel like I’m not all alone in suddenly feeling like a stink bug.
I’m hoping it gets better once we reach cooler weather.

Pregnancy ruined the smell of some stuff forever for me, well after pregnancy. I've had to change the coffee I drink, the perfumes I use and I can't stomach curries anymore Smile

Yes yes yes! Particularly in early pregnancy I felt like I smelled sooo bad. Also the smell of coffee still repulses me, even on my fiancé's breath and it never bothered me before!
