Default Pregnancy smells (YUCK)

Just wondering here and would like to know from your experience...
what smells drive you crazy?


I normally have a STRONG since of smell and since being pregnant that's only heightened.

I hate smelling people's perfumes and such.... like even on myself, I used to pretty much bathe in my perfume but now I only spray once in the front and back.


And something else that is definitely 100% preggo-related is that I CANNOT stand the smell of people cooking-anything cooking: chicken, ground beef, hamburger..anything!!! It makes me super nauseated.

So... what drive you CRAZY?

Colognes, especially ones with a strong alcohol base, and the trash. Both of them make me want to gag. However, I've developed an affection for the smell of my hairspray...which really kind of weirds me out.

Every smell makes me sick, even cold air. It's brutal, but perfume is definitely the worst!

smells haven't bothered me too much this time around but it was funny w/my first b/c I worked at a veterinary clinic and people always felt so sorry for me having to be around dog and cat poo/pee/puke etc but that stuff never bothered me! Like the previous posters it was client's perfume and cologne when I would have go in rooms - I could barely hold it together!

I've gotten much better about the smell thing..all food smells good now . Before though, it was the smell of cooking meat, heavy perfume (even my mild smelling deodorant) and the smell of the fridge - no matter what was in it, and the garbage. Now none of these really bug me except really heavy perfume on others.

The smell of cooking meat kills me!! I was cooking ground beef for much craved tacos and was standing as far as I could and still stir it, with my nose plugged. The tacos tasted great, but I suffered all night with indigestion! Stupid taco craving!!!!!

I never had any problems with smells.
I think the only one was these certain wheat thins that my boyfriend likes to eat...parmesan tomato basil or something like that.

The fridge is the only thing that bothers me. I don't know what it is...but it just grosses me out...especially the freezer!
