as it says really, have noticed a metallic smell coming from down below - am a very clean person - honest, no discharge, just very odd. any ideas? please tell me at least one other person gets it?? have wondered if something to do with me taking my preg vitamins at night, as notice smell more in the morning, but that might just be as i havent showered at that point?? even hubby noticed, AND commented, so am now feeling very paranoid....

I don't but I'm sure it's perfectly normal. Last pregnancy I found myself using my deodorant a hundred times more than usual because I just felt I stank the whole time. All your fluids are bound to change, I'd have thought, given that your digestive system is slowing down and your immune system is realising it can't kick the little one out etc.

I hope your husband was pleasant about it!

Thanks Allie. I did just put it down to 'internal changes'....hubby laughed it off, and i am being a bit paranoid about it. another lovely side effect i guess of being preggers!
