Sensitivity to smell?

Hi all has anyone experienced sensitivity to smell it's so bad that you felt uncomfortable?

I just recently moved to a new house and am 9 weeks preggo. The smell of the paint and new house didn't really bother me till recent week. It was so bad that I didn't want to leave my bed room as the rest of the house were so smelly to me.

What can I do to get rid of the discomfort of smell?

I can smell everything now 10x stronger. Latex ballons are the worst for me and our garbage can outside. I can smell it from the back yard when I get out of my car is has to be 10+ yards away. Went through the same thing with my first baby thankfully it went away twards the end of my pregancy.

The sensitivity may or may not go away. Just open the windows and air out the house if it's not too cold where you are or get room deodorizers that let a constant flow of neutralizers or scents you are ok with flood the place
