Congratulations! I don't have that yet, but I feel like I'm on the verge of waking up one day with morning sickness. I haven't had any real nausea yet. But yesterday I cleaned the hair out of the bathtub drain and I gagged a little, and it doesn't usually bother me.

*Crashing your DDC*

We did't find out we were preggers till I was almost 3 months along. For those first few months, I MADE DH change deoderent 5 times cause the smell of them made me SOOOOOO sick! Then when we found out about baby, it ALL came together

He likes to call me Dog Nose

Sweet, huh?

Things that used to not bother me now do. Hubby used Icey Hot on leg yesterday and I opened windows and lite candle to rid room of the smell. I like the smell but it was way to much of a smell. Sometimes cooking smells bad these days too. I smell things that are coming in from outside threw closed windows.

I have this too! This is usually one of the things that I notice first when I am pregnant. I can smell EVERYTHING...and a lot of smells are very icky to me.

It makes me feel like I have super powers

oh gods, I've had this for the past 2 weeks. It's HORRIBLE! My nausea isn't bad but my food aversion and scent sensitivity are through the freakin' roof!

There was one night that we had friends over for food and talk and whatnot and someone brought a chicken, mushroom, rice casserole and popped it in the oven. I had no idea until I started smelling something hideously foul. Then my wife told me about the casserole, and I ended up cloistering myself in one of the bedrooms for the next 13 hours, only going out to pee and trying not to gag and die the whole way there and back. It was sooooo soo bad!

Can't do cumin or chicken. Cigarrette or pot smoke, incense, perfume, cooked mushrooms, raw cauliflower, BO, exhaust, cat litter, sulfur from a blown out match (which I usually really enjoy, oddly), are all bad, too. And my poor wife, who loves to eat spicy foods, is walking on eggshells now with respect to cooking. I feel so bad for her!

Hi kettunainen, I'm in Toronto too!

I have been noticing that I contently feel as if I smell funny and gross. It may have something to do with the morning sickness, but uggg. I feel like washing off and brushing my teeth every couple of hours. I would too, if I had the energy and time to. I also have major issues with the trash and kitty litter.

Me too!! I guess I'm lucky in that I haven't been overwhelmed by smells yet, but I just smell everything so strongly! Doesn't help that we've had intestinal flus and potty accidents for like a week and a half, ugghh!!

I will say that it has been working in my favor with DDs dirty diapers. My DH knows the smell of it is too much for me and just immediately takes her to be changed without me even having to ask...

Though when he's not around, it certainly is not a good thing....
