odor

This is my third child I dont understand why I have a sweaty odor.I bathe two times a day before pregnancy maybe three.I shaved down below almost thirteen yrs.Now its hard for me to reach and I get so musty with this pregnancy.I try baby powder why is this and I have OCD this makes me want to cry.I sweat real bad but never this odor until I got pregnant.Its really embarrassing cause I could have just bathed sweat a Lil and bam theres the odor.

Wow fiance is a heavy guy plus he drives trucks.I tell him he must bathe before bed.He really didnt take me serious until one night he got in the bed and I got out throwing up.No smell get passes me.Think I'm gonna try the pantie liners and go back to Dove soap.

This is my second pregnancy & the same situation. I have to bathe twice daily because I can't stand the smell of my skin. Although I don't believe we smell worse rather our sense of smell has increased because I was never bothered by the smell of my partners skin & during pregnancy I can't bring myself to tell him but if he doesn't shower right before bed the smell of his skin also makes my tummy churn :( it stopped after my hormones settled after giving birth to my last though.

Unfortunately it is normal.  This is my third and I never had this problem before.  I perspire under my arms and in My groin area now. My doctor recommended using an anti-perspiraent where the thighs and Vagina meet and to wear a panty liner to absorb the sweat.  Talk to your doctor and find out what can be done. Baby powder can make it worse and lead to infection keep washing until your next visit. I know it bothers you but washing with dove or a soap similar is best until your next visit. Best of luck.

I thought about it but I get yeast infection from soaps with perfumes in them.It is so depressing I wonder would a cap full of clorox help.

Have you told your Dr. About this? I also sweat alot down there and bathe alot and I was having the same odor. My doctor checked me and my P.H balance was off so he put me on an antibiotic and told me to use ivory soap, no scented soaps or powder down there as they can throw your ph balance off and cause infection. Good luck!

C about using some of that vagisil or summer breeze body wash. I c commercials for all that stuff and it might help. Idk what all kinds of stuff they got but it's worth a shot since those r made specifically for our...areas
