smells

I walked into my house yesterday after work and I nearly puked as soon as I walked in the door, I swear, I smell something and it reminds me of the way milk tastes right before it goes bad DH says he doesnt smell anything but it is SOO overwhelming, I gag with every deep breath through my nose

Is this normal? Does anyone else smell "smells" that maybe arent there? I know there is no sour milk anywhere (i thought maybe a cereal bowl was left somewhere), I searched the house up and down to see if either my cat or dog got sick and I cant find anything. The garbage is clean in the kitchen and bathrooms ... I cannot take it. .. yack ..

Re: smells

Yes this happened to me and was tied in with my m/s/nausea.

It will go away. Hang in there!

Re: smells

I find that I am much more sensitive to smells (especially cigarette smoke )

Maybe it was just a lingering odor from the garbage that was just taken out, or from the dishes that were just done

Open all the windows and light a candle

Feel better!

Re: smells

I could have written that post.

This happens to me ALL the time. My husband is always saying "there you go inventing smells again!".

I totally feel your pain!

Re: smells

O wow I had this TOO, big time!!!! DH swore I was losing my marbles, and that commute to NYC was And I never threw up either, just nauseous from the phantom smells. Here's what I did: I started carrying a bar of fragranced soap (lavender or lilac were great) and when something offended I would just sniff that to clear my nose, it really helped!!!!!

Re: smells

I am so sensitive to smells now that i can actually smell ds poopy diaper before i enter his nursery! i do know the smell you are talkinga bout.. i keep looking to see if one of my ds's sippy cups of milk is lying around because i keep smelling spoiled milk... dh tells me i am crazy

Re: smells

We are at the same point and I am also very very sensitive to smells. Makes riding the train lots of fun. Everyone's body smells, perfumes, "aromas" in the street. They all make me gag.

Re: smells

Yep-my DH thinks I am crazy. I smell everything when i am pg.

Thank God I don't live in the city with this pg. The last one was torture between the subway and the garbage

Re: smells

I smell something weird in my kitchen and made DH check for a leak but there wasn't one. I think it is something in the drain. I am gonna draino... I don't wanna smell the drain anymore it"s gross just thinking about it.

Re: smells

i am having this too!!! everything is making me want to hurl!!!!! i smell everything even the littlest thing that someone else can't smell!!!

Re: smells

definitely normal..for me dh couldnt make coffee or hot wings in the house, that made me so sick smelling it, but oddly enough i remember when i was stopped at a light while driving i got a wiff of cigarette smoke (which i absolutely hate normally) and it smelled so good...its crazy what pregnancy does to you!

Re: smells

YES!!!

I was smelling something for weeks. I couldn't stand it! I cleaned a little, made DH clean, it was driving me so crazy, I hired a cleaning service to do deep cleaning in our kitchen.

I felt it was seeping out of our wood cabinets, I couldn't explain it, and I don't know what magic they did, but they found it and killed it.

Either that or my hormones finally leveled off or something.

ETA:

and while food smells where bad, the worst for me was toothpaste. I ran crying from DH when he tried to kiss me with a minty fresh mouth.

Re: smells

In my first tri I threw out almost everything in the fridge. I couldn't handle super markets at all. It was really bad.

Re: smells

i just got home and the house still smells vommmmit

Re: smells

I could have written that post, probably still can. I was screaming at DH that something stunk in the kitchen and he was looking at me like I had 10 heads. Worst is when he is not on top of the litter box. Or even worse, when he leaves the outdoor garbage uncovered!
