changes during pregnancy?

Question

I am not sure how to ask this question diplomatically, but I will try my best. Has anyone noticed a change in their "personal female body odor"? Not to the point where it smells bad, but just a different scent than before?

Answer 1

Yes there is a bit of difference in your personal odor down there. Its due to the increase in hormones that your body is producing during pregnancy. You may also notice more vaginal discharge than normal. It is normal if it doesnt smell badly or isnt a strange colour such as green or brown. White or eggwhite consistancy is normal.

Answer 2

Personally, I haven't noticed a change in the way I smell. But I have noticed that my sense of smell has increased considerably. That may be why you feel as though you have a different scent than before. They say that a heightened sense of smell is one of the symptoms of pregnancy, so it could be that you smell the same and you just smell yourself better, so to say, than you did before pregnancy.

Answer 3

Yes I noticed that when I was pregnant near the end of my pregnancy like 7 months, then after the smell continued for a while, now it's gone.

Answer 4

Wait a minute, how did I get on this pregnancy questions, I was doing travel answers.

However since you asked. . .naturally, your whole body chemistry is going to change for the next ten to eleven months.
You are even going to pick up brown skin spots on your face and hands. Some women never get back to the same shape as before pregnancy. . . .deal with it!

Answer 5

I have never noticed anything diferent in my odor when I was pregnant but thats not saying it's not normal. Every woman is different and everyones hormones act differently. Ask your doctor if you are concerned.

Answer 6

Yes. It's like sort of a B-O smell. But, not horrible, enough to make me want to take a bath frequently.
