Has anyone in pregnancy found they could smell their partner way more stronger like their scent and body odour?

Yes. Normal, but gross.

No. But DH knew I was pregnant before I did because I smelled different. All three times.

Yes your sense of smell goes into overdrive so normal enough. For years I've used this odourless kitchen cleaning spray as I find the odours a bit overpowering. It was as it said on the tin completely odourless.. that was until I was pregnant and suddenly could smell a strong chemical smell from it. DH didn't know what I was talking about but for the whole pregnancy it had an odour. Haven't smelled it since DS was born. Pregnancy is so weird and wonderful😂

Very usual pregnancy symptom. I kept making my poor DH have loads of extra showers.

Your sense of smell increases massively in pregnancy so this is normal.

When are you due on your period? Some people find increased sense of smell is an early symptom.
