Bad body odor during pregnancy? Is this normal??!

Question

I'm not sure if my sweat glands are in overdrive these past couple of weeks. But ever since I found out I'm pregnant. I can't find a deodorant that helps with my armpit odor. I've gone through 3 different ones and I still smell ☹️ and let me tell you I never had a problem with any deodorant and never had a problem with my odor before pregnancy. But nothing seem to help. Am I the only one here? :(

Answer

During my pregnancies with my boys, I couldn't use women's deodorant. I had to use men's because women's didn't seem to work(even though my hubby swears I didn't smell) I felt like I sweat so much and smelled so bad. Try men's deodorant, or a prescription strength that you can find in the deodorant isle.

Answer

Me too!! 😫😫😫

Answer

I had that problem at first but I just started to double up. After I showered at night I would put some on and in the morning before I got dressed I put more on.

Answer

I thought I was the only one!  I went from zero BO (as in I can get away with no deodorant in the middle of summer)  to my deodorant not working!  I've been blaming it on the baby daddy -- I told him that it's his bad genetics that gave me BO. Hehe his kid messes with me,  I mess with him -- the circle of life!

Thanks for the idea ladies, I will go and pick up some men's deodorant to see if it helps.

Answer

Girl so normal! I sweat like a 13 year old boy. It's horrible. I can have a shower and feel stanky a few hours later.

Answer

I had the same issue and I started using these. They are alittle on the expensive side but it really worked for me. Dove also makes the same thing

Answer

I haven't had the smell, but I do sweat like crazy now. I started using the Dove dry spray first, and then put on the regular stick deodorant.... And it has made a big difference. Good luck!!

Answer

I was literally JUST wondering about that! I've noticed it too. Must be a thing.
