Sense of smell
Hi ladies. My sense of smell is through the roof! I can smell EVERYTHING! It's making me sick to my stomach. It's sensory overload. I'm only 8 weeks. Anyone else ever have this?
lol yeah its well known symptom of pregnancy..i hate it especially when i had morning sickness it made it so much worse
Yess lol. I could smell crayons across the room. Especially first trimester. The smell of peanut butter was sooo strong to me it made me wanna throw up
It is normal during pregnancy.
FUN FACT- it is thought to be nature's way of protecting the baby. When not much was known and medical technology had not advanced refrigeration was not widely available. It is now thought that is how the first mother's knew what was safe for her baby to eat. That way she did not harm baby by eating rotten, spoiled or poisonous food.
The facts of why are bodies go through so much weird changes that have nothing to do with being pregnant or delivering a baby are really unknown and a mystery. However there are some very good guesses on why.
Just thought I would share this information because it might make you feel better on the UN enjoyable side effect of pregnancy you are experiencing.

YES!!!!!I am 8 weeks too. I went food shopping this morning and wanted to barf at every corner. I told my husband he has to go back out tomorrow to food shop without me becauase I did not come home with much.
Lol, I can't stand my husband or his smell and I'm 24 week along.
Yes and it gets worse as you get further along lol. Some smells I've not liked in the past I'm really enjoying now. Lol
A lot of us. I'm almost 32 weeks and I still have sensitivity to certain smells.
