Sense of smell

I'm six weeks pregnant and I woke up to an overpowering smell and can't figure out what it is. My husband says he doesn't smell anything. Anybody else have a heightened sense of smell? It's driving me crazy!

It's your hormones:( I have an extremely good nose while pregnant and it's the most frustrating thing  ever! If the smell is making you sick try boiling some scented water and open windows until you locate the culprits.

We have to empty our garbage daily while I'm pregnant because it makes me
Sick to my stomach

I had this the moment i fell pregnant. .
I was running around work for months asking everyone of they could smell it or if i smelled funny. .
Could not for the life of me work it out.
I found out i was 7wks pregnant and it started to make sense then.

Thank you! I kept trying to explain the smell to my husband but he just gave me a dumbfounded look :(
It's impossible to explain the smell!!
Its almost like you have never smelt it before but it has a hint of different things that you have smelt..
Im now pretty much at my due date and it has returned!!
It went away for most of the pregnancy tho.. so you wont be stuck with it for ever
