So, does your dh/SO stink???  

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
I feel like a bad wife because I keep pushing my dh away, but the man stinks of garlic and it's making me sick. This happens with every pregnancy, but it doesn't make it easier on dh. He had a soup for dinner last night and it had garlic in it, and of course later last night and all today he just smells. Is there an herb or something he can take to get rid of the smell??? Anything??? TIA! Heidi

See if he can chew on some fresh parsley, I have heard that it helps keep your breath fresh.

My DH has only one vice, he has a cigar and drinks scotch about once a week. <insert puke smile here, but I won't cause looking at it makes me queasy :LOL >
I make him shower before coming to bed when he does that. But now that I am pregnant, I can still smell it! :

i've heard celery can help your whole body smell better, as well as your breath

I am not to the stage yet where smells bother me...but it's coming, and it will be here soon. It starts at about 6 weeks for me....so that's only a couple more days...

Thanks! We'll definitely try the celery for the whole body, the garlic seems to ooze right out his pores...

This hasn't started for me yet, but during my first pg, DH went through whole array of yucky smells... bologna, mothballs, etc.... I won't put in the puke guy here (keeping others in mind :LOL) but it sure made me wanna....

Funny you should mention that because this morning I almost tossed my cookies when I rolled over next to him. He just smelled a bit....musty. He had worked out the night before and didn't shower so he was sweaty and sweet. Made me gag, poor guy!
