I am allergic to the aluminum compounds in anti-perspirant so I usually use a natural deodorant, though they don't work well for a woman as *heavily scented* as me. Thus, I'm very aware of how I smell.
All during pregnancy I smelled great. I didn't even wear deoderant, I showered every other day, and I smelled wonderful! About 3 hours before I went into labor, I started *stinking*! (I even told my husband I thought my hormones had changed, and lo and behold, I was right!)
Additionally, I've had two ovulatory postpartum periods and during the luteal phase I've smelled OK. They seem to have gone away and I stink like crazy again.
I am just strange? Or is this normal?
