One of the 1st symptoms of pregnancy is an overly sensitive sense of smell, not to mention excessive saliva, so if you see my pillow, don't judge me. At first, I didn't really notice my keen sense of smell, I just thought Andrew had worst gas then usual. But when I realized I could smell him on a different floor of the house, I knew something was up.
Its kind of amazing and disgusting all at once. I can smell things a mile way. Its like I have my own super power. Unfortunately, EVERYTHING stinks!! I love every kind of body butter from the body shop. Or I did. Now when I put lotion on my hands, I have to put my hands in my pockets or behind my back, neither of which do anything to hide the smell. The smell is so powerful it makes me gag. Even taking a shower is a chore now. The soap is so over powering it induces dry heaving.
Why not buy unscented everything? Because 1st, I can't afford to buy brand new everything just because the smells are horrendous. 2nd, those fancy unscented soaps and lotions do have a scent that my super nose picks up on and hates. So I'll just count down to the 2nd trimester, aka, the "Honeymoon Phase." But truthfully, if this is as bad as it gets, then I'll be grateful, because I've heard some unbelievable war stories....mostly involve digestion...and I'm scared!
