Superhuman sense of smell?

I am 11 weeks. Does this last the whole pregnancy? Sometimes it is cool, sometimes it is really annoying.

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

yeah and after my sense of smell is insaine

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

I had this--I think it mostly disappeared a few months into the pregnancy though.

Mine was NOT cool--all my smells were bad. Our bathroom made me sick (clean, toilet flushed, nothing just uhm passed). One day I was gagging on the train. DH was next to me, and wanted to know what was wrong, and I told him the guy across from us really stunk. He couldn't smell a thing. Many foods were out for me too because of this.

It did get better though.

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

I remember with DS it lasted the whole pg. I am now 10 weeks and I smell EVERYTHING!

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

Mine went away after the first trimester but, at 32 weeks... It's baaaack... I work in special ed, high school.. not always the best thing..

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

Same here, it came in the middle of the first trimester, and I still have it.

It's not that everything I smell is bad, it's just that it's very sensitive. I can smell popcorn cooking on the other side of the building!

DH and I laugh all the time at my superhuman sense of smell. He swears I'm makingitup butI can smell things (like stinky sneakers) from the other room and I'm 20 weeks. It's kidna cool!

It lessened a little bit for me, but I do still have it.

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

I'm 31 weeks and I still have it!!! I've always had a sensitive nose, but sometimes this is absolutley cruel!!

I smell the bad and the good but the bad smells make me gag still...

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

i definitely have a sensitive sense of smell now which is more of a burden than a blessing! i HATE the smell of coffee and it literally wafts through my office's halls all day long and it makes me want to gag!!!!

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

I had it really bad the first trimester. I'm 15 weeks now and it's not nearly as bad.

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

I hear ya, I am 13 weeks and I smell everything and it is so bad. Everything makes me sick.

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

VERY sensitive sense of smell at 9 weeks, I'm praying it goes away. Raw onions,garlic and toast send me to the garbage can!!! & of course now it's all I think our house smells like!!!

I need a scent to put on my upper lip so I can just smell that all day long!!

Re: Superhuman sense of smell?

I am only 7 weeks and this crazy sense of smell is now starting! Something in our co-op smelled so bad last night, I couldn't even get to sleep. I told DH it was our fish tank! He couldn't smell anything. Anyway, as Im writing this, he is cleaning that thing! Way over due!
