My partner smells weird

Since I've been pregnant my partner has the weirdest smell about him. I can't describe it. It's like a mixture of bananas and something sour?
Either way I can't stand it 😳 did anyone else have anything like this in pregnancy? Never smelt it before and we have lived together for 3 years

During pregnancy your sense of smell becomes extra sensitive, which can make things smell off.

this is my third pregnancy and heightened sense of smell was one of my first symptoms yet I’ve never noticed it with the others. I swear I could smell a gnat fart from across the room at the moment

@gjkufbb haha I had the same with my first pregnancy. My partners smell literally made me sick. It went away once the nausea passed thank god 😅.

I had this for a while too! DH smelt off and very sour despite him being an incredibly clean person and smelling fine usually. It took about a little while (maybe a couple of weeks) but luckily he smells normal again - it should pass!!
