I am always super sweaty when I am pregnant. I keep deodorant in my purse, my desk at work, at home and in the car so I always have some when I need it. I haven't notices it smelling particularly bad I just feel sweaty.

This happened to me when I was pregnant with DS2, I stank of onions! I get an increased sense of smell when I'm pregnant, and I was really sick, which made it worse. I had to have two baths a day, I used to feel like I was going to faint if I had a shower.
It only lasted for the first trimester I think, it was definitely gone by the time the morning sickness was at 20 weeks, I think it went a bit before that, so by about 15 weeks.

It's so weird isn't it?! This is the first time I've heard of it happening to anyone else!

I had this after giving birth to my DS but not during pregnancy. It was very uncomfortable as I always smelled bad no matter how much I showered. My sweat too used to smell like onions, yuck, than it subsided gradually until I did not smell bad anymore. I guess it's something to do with hormones. With this pregnancy I don't smell bad, but I always seem to feel dirty down their with the increased mucus...I just feel dirty :(

luckily it only lasted 3 days - oddly since finding out we have lost a twin it has cleared up so must definately be related to high numbers of hormones
