"THE PREGNANCY BOOK OF SMELLS AND ODORS : HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SMELL IN PREGNANCY" |

ONE ODOR I TOTALLY COULD NOT STAND, WHICH WOULD MAKE ME TOTALLY NAUSEOUS, WAS CIGARETTE SMOKE! |
|
|
|
|
WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY DAUGHTER, I WAS BOTH BLESSED AND CURSED WITH A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SMELL. I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD, AND I DID SOME RESEARCH ON IT, AND ACCORDING TO MEDICAL EXPERTS BACK THEN ONLY ABOUT 40% OF ALL PREGNANT WOMEN GET THIS, AND IT IS SUPPOSEDLY AN ANCIENT PRIMITIVE INSTINCT THAT IS TO MAKE YOU AVOID ALL STRONG SMELLING THINGS, AS ANYTHING WITH A STRONG ODOR IS LIKELY TO BE HARMFUL TO THE UNBORN BABY, AND I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
DURING PREGNANCY I ALSO COULD NOT STAND THE SMELL OF GARBAGE, AND USED TO THROW BAKING SODA DOWN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL IN THE SINK ALL THE TIME, TO GET RID OF THE SLIGHTEST ODORS. |

IF YOU ARE BOTHERED BY THE HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SMELL DURING PREGNANCY, YOU SHOULD TRY SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH GENTLE, NATURAL, PLEASING FRAGRANCES (THAT'S WHAT I DID, AND IT WORKED FOR ME!) |
|
|
|
|
|
ANOTHER ODOR I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT STANF DURING PREGNANCY WAS COFFEE PERKING! (THIS WAS SO WEIRD, BECAUSE I AM A DIE-HARD COFFEE LOVER, AND STILL AM TO THIS DAY, BUT DURING PREGNANCY I COULD NOT STAND IT! IT'S FOR THE BEST, THOUGH, BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DRINK COFFEE OR ANY OTHER CAFFEINATED BEVERAGE, BECAUSE ALL CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES ARE BAD FOR THE UNBORN BABY!) |

|
I WOULD ALSO GET TERRIBLY SICK AT THE SMELL OF FRESH PAINT DURING PREGNANCY, SO WE HAD TO KEEP ALL THE WINDOWS WIDE OPEN TO AIR OUT ANY ROOMS THAT WERE FRESHLY PAINTED - (IT WAS THE BANANA OIL IN THE PAINT THAT MADE ME SICK, AND SOMETIMES IT STILL DOES!) |
