Body odour

Hi Mommies, when i start my 9weeks of pregnancy till now (14weeks), i noticed that my underarms' smell is strong. I shower twice daily, scrub my underarms and even with deodorant i can still smell it after few hours. I never have this problem before and eventhough my husband told me it doesn't stink, i honestly think he is just nice. I cannot stand my own body odour and veey insecure about it. Is this normal during pregnancy? #pregnancy #advicepls #pleasehelp

I'm using crystal deodorant too, even before I was pregnant. It works like magic! I even bought one for my husband and he had no smell after sweating so much after gym. I haven't touch my roll on deodorant for almost 8 months. The crystal deodorant can last very long and it's also environmental friendly, even better when I'm pregnant now, because it's aluminum-free. I bought mine from bamboostrawgirl.

Same here since My wk14 in 17wks but I don't use deodorant at all cos I was afraid it might not work either since I believe it's our body hormones. And somehow I think our sweat glands scent is also resulted from the food we eat? When wanna have s*x, i get conscious too.

I stop using my normal deodorant so I bought crystal mineral salt deodorant. Very helpful! I think it’s normal cause when I was pregnant, I couldn’t stand the smell of my husband even though I’m the only one who could smell it

I use lemon or lime to scrub myself gently esp the creases & armpits, twice weekly. I think it’s just the pregnancy that somehow heightens our sense of smell.
