1st trimester and smelling yourself??

Question

Ok,

So I'm 4wks 6 days and I feel like I smell more often than normal. Is that usual??

While I work, I feel like my body gives off the odor that I feel like everyone can smell.

Not to mention when it comes to using the bathroom, "down there" has this distinct smell that I can never make out. It's not an infection, but it's a smell that I have constantly.

Does anyone else experience this?

Answer

This may be TMI but my husband is the one that knew I was pregnant before I did and so did my dogs.
My husband and I were on our honeymoon in Germany and the morning after we had sex he asked me to take a pregnancy test, I asked him why and he said just a hunch, you taste just a little diffrent and smell just slightly doffrent.  I asked if I smelled stronger or what he meant and he said "not stronger, just not exactly the same".  
I thought he was nuts since we had seriously just started to TTC that month after our wedding so I didn't take one.

When we got home our dogs were rubbing their heads on my stomach and smelling my hair and neck a lot.  Finally I decided to just take a test even though I was a week from my period.  It was positive.

Once I hit 6 weeks, I smelled it too, it's almost sweet compared to normal.  I'm 8 months now and still have this new smell, I also have to wear panty liners 24/7 bc I'm constantly having a clear fluid that covers my undies.  Just another thing to deal with but I'm assuming I'll go back to normal once the baby comes

Answer

I had and still have that problem. I hate the change in my body odor especially because I have the nose of a blood hound now. There's no escaping my scent. I just try to stay as clean as possible.

Answer

I really feel like it's more you being more aware of scent but I totally get what you mean!

Answer

I agree I'm in third tri still doing it.  Applying deodorant and perfume like 5-6 times a day.  It's crazy

Answer

Yea I smelled different all over too. I definitely couldn't stand my own smell. I changed my soap to ceraVe which is safe in pregnancy and doesn't have harsh chemicals. I don't smell anymore and can go like 2 days without showering. I was going insane from the terrible odd smell I was emitting but not any more!!
