My sense of smell was so strong i couldn't go to any public toilets or i would go sick! Any smell was so nasty my stomach would turn. That's when i knew something was up and i was pregnant. The worst smell was the toilets and then changing my daughters nappy. Its mad being pregnant!

Hi there honey.
YES! It was always one of the first things that let me know I was pregnant. With all four of my babies I noticed very early on that I was sensitive to smells that I never noticed before. Mostly in a negative way too. Things that I normally loved the smell of, fresh coffee in the morning, my husbands pipe tobacco....bacon frying....would send me flying to the bathroom to be sick! I could not stand to be around cigarette smoke, I never can but when I was pregnant it was very intense.
Grocery shopping was difficult for me as the smell of the blood from the meat department sometimes made me sick enough to vomit!
I was sensitive to the perfume that other women were wearing and if I did not like it, it would bother me SO much that I could not wait to get away from them!
As soon as I had my baby everything was back to normal though.
In general I was just much more sensitive to odors than I was when I was NOT pregnant. Maybe this is some odd way of telling us what things are good for us and what things are not (like the tobacco and the caffeine?) who knows.
Congratulations if you are pregnant!
Blessings

From about 6 weeks into my pregnancy I could smell allsorts of things that no-one else could smell.......id be like..my Goodness can you smell petrol, my other half would be like no, the garage is a mile up the road...lol. I dont think I can smell weird stuff but I have such a heightened sense of smell that I can definately smell stuff that others around me cant. Not sure what causes it but my guess would be that the midwife/Doctor would say the old favourite "an increase in hormones"...if in doubt blame it on the hormones!!!

I am currently 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd pregnancy. With all of my pregnancies, my sense of smell became very sensitive early on, even before I found out I was pregnant. Just yesterday my coworker was eating a steak sandwich for lunch, which would normally would smell very good, but instead it made me sick to the point that I don't know if I could even consider eating steak again. I think it diminished during my second tri-mester. Either that, or I just got use to all the smells.

Mine started somewhere in my first trimester. Suddenly everything was so intense. I don't think you smell things you haven't before, it's just your sense of smell is heightened. I am a huge coffee drinker and I could not smell coffee. It made me gag. The same with the smell of chicken cooking, and alcohol of any variety. Those are the 3 that really stood out! And naturally, garbage cans smelled worse then I have ever imagined!

My sense of smell and taste changed before I even had reason to take a pregnancy test. My morning cup of tea smelt and tasted as if cabbage had been boiled in it. After about a week of that happening my period never came. Then it all became clear to me. Even looking at certain colours made me feel 'strange' or uneasy, to the point that I found I had to repaint the hallway. I know, I sound like a nutcase, but pregnancy can send you to a different plane. I've not been like it since. Thankfully. Good luck.

yeah, this is one of the most commons signs of pregnancy, i am getting it, on and off, when i 1st fell pregnant, everything was making me feel sick. I walk past a fatcory that makes some mad food and had to walk down past it with morning sickness and it was HORRIBLE!!! my sense of smell faded away but is now back, i keep thinking that this office is smelly, but no one else can smell it; I dont know why it happens but it does.
I think it lasts for the full term, Congratulations

My sense of smell went through the roof.
Some of it was good, some not so nice (like being able to smell people really acutely!!)
I actually couldnt bear the smell of my DP deodorant when i was preg with my first child, whenever he came near me i would start heaving!! It took us about 2 months to work out what it was aswell which wasnt fun.
This time round I cant stand the smell of coffee, so its completely normal!

It was the first thing that made me think I was pregnant! I could smell someones coffee about 10 feet away and the traffic smells were unbearable!
Also I went from being soft goth black in my tastes to liking anything fluffy and pink! And if it had spangly bits all the better! Hormones eh?!
Enjoy!
