Can we talk about going off of your partner during pregnancy?

[Niceiswear]

Extensive Googling has reassured me this is normal, but can we talk about it?

I’m in early pregnancy and I just have zero tolerance for my partner. His lovely playful golden-retriever spirit that made me fall for him, is driving me mental. His breath stinks of dill (he has not eaten any dill…) and I seem to have decided he’s the stupidest human on the planet (he isn’t).

I was so grossly in love before I got pregnant.

I am already reassured that this is just my hormones and thankfully he’s very amused by it, but I’d love to hear similar stories!

Oh dear, this kind of amused me! I haven't experienced it personally (I'm 17.5 weeks) but I have a friend who was completely turned off by the smell of their partner. That's as much as she was willing to admit at least lol.

It's 100% hormones so it's great that he can see the light side of things and not take it so personally. Xx

I've found myself much more affectionate to my partner in terms of personality. And he has stepped up enormously through pregnancy in terms of taking ownership of domestic tasks, to the point I'm often thinking "where has this man been for the X years we've been together". BUT, the smell thing I can fully sympathise with. I swear DH's mouth smells like rotten eggs and his body gives off an off-milk odour. I have to sleep with my back to him because it's all I can smell in bed 😂 But I know he didn't smell like this before so it's just my hormones, and I hope to god it goes away once baby gets here (which should be in the next 2-4 weeks!).

I believe it’s the surging hormones.

Oh dear 😂😂 I have heard this from people although it’s not something I have experienced myself. It’s just hormones though. You’ll like him again once those pesky hormones start to rebalance.
