11 weeks and I absolutely stink!!!

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and over the last few days I've noticed that I've started to develop a strong smell of what I can only describe as onions. No matter how many times I shower and put on deodorant, it comes back within an hour. I eat a healthy diet, drink lots of water and herbal tea. I know it's normal with all the hormones, but is there any way I can combat this?

Have others said you smell? Could perhaps be hormones changing your sense of smell rather than you actually smelling? I feel like I can smell everything, noticing smells that I've never smelt. Often saying to DP about how something stinks but he can't smell anything

I haven't been around anyone since it started, so not sure if anyone else can smell it. But my sense of smell has gone through the roof, and I'm sweating buckets which is very unusual for me as I don't usually sweat.

My feet went smelly after each birth. Presumably hormonal as they never usually smell. Last year I was in hospital with an injury and my feet weren't washed for 3 weeks (I was immobile) and they didn't smell.
I was washing them twice a day and mentioned it to my sister and she had it too after her births. V odd

@Fuzzyhippo I'd be tempted to ask someone you trust to give you a quick sniff 😂 being pregnant has also made me feel generally sweaty and a bit gross so I can relate to that
