Smells?

Smells?

What smells make your stomach turn since you've been pregnant??

It's amazing how you become like a bloodhound when your pregnant. There are so many things I cant stomach now that I have a sniffer like my friends basset hound..
I cant stand when I'm on the LIRR and I get stuck sitting next to the one person that either just finished smoking a cigarette or didnt brush his/her teeth that morning.. UGHHHH I want to vomit. I usually take my newspaper and start waving some fresh air around or completely turn my body to the side so I dont get wiffs of the wretched smell. If all else fails I reach for a piece of mint gum to distract my nose. The other thing that bothers me a LOT is men's cologne. I get so queasy from certain types I want to die! Someone just walked passed my desk and I had to breath into my shirt for a nice blast of clean laundry smell... Ahhhhhhh

Oh, .. and lets not even talk about my DH's gas.. Holy Cow.. It's 100000000000x's stronger then ever I can smell it even after a 1/2 hour of his release..

Anyone else having problems with smells??

Re: Smells?

OMG I was having the worst problems with smells... Especially when I was having MS... Cigarettes really bothered me, tuna, chicken... blah... I would start dry heaving..

Re: Smells?

I lived with my folks both times and I could always tell when the gas was on in the house. I got so sick. Everyone thought I was crazy when I told them I could smell the gas

Re: Smells?

OMG cigarette smell kills me! If I can smell it on you I will puke right on you and now that DH has decided to take the habit up again, he has to shower a lot more to get near me!! The other one is coffee. I have ALWAYS hated it and forget it if I smell it, I will lose it!

Re: Smells?

the worst is being trapped in the elevator with the smokers. The stench is unbearable and its quite difficult to stifle a gag!

Re: Smells?

I couldn't stand the smell of food cooking. Cooking dinner was terrible, I never wanted to eat anything that I cooked. Now that I am past the sickness stage, I can tolerate most smells a lot better.

Re: Smells?

Raw chicken. I cannot stand that either. Still can't! I used to eat a ton of chicken but because of this I can't stomach chicken that much anymore!!!

Re: Smells?

Meat (hamburger, steak) cooking used to make me want to barf. Or cooking fish (though that still makes me ill not preggo)

Re: Smells?

Garlic....ughhhhhhh I cant stomach the smell of garlic at all anymore. Thank God I found these black cherry candles and I burn them every time I have to cook with garlic

Re: Smells?

I can't stand chicken either...however, if I take a meat tenderizer and pound it flat to make cutlets then I'm ok.

Re: Smells?

Yes...I have dog nose too. Its amazing how the sense of smell is heightened. I spend 1/2 the time at work with my hand covering my nose because the smells make me want to barf!
