DH got to drink Timmy's every day for 6 months! Even the smell of coffee through the drive thru window made me gag. </p> <p>Went away as soon as DD was born. </p> <p>I also developed a bizarre aversion to being outdoors, which was pretty inconvenient as I work outdoors... That also went away immediately after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aversion-to-alcohol-smell-during-pregnancy#post-2675819 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 15:40:11 +0000 LCTBQE 2675819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: I had this; for me it only went away after I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aversion-to-alcohol-smell-during-pregnancy#post-2675809 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 15:20:04 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2675809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, and it makes my job (working in a brewery) that much harder. Last time it went away at about 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aversion-to-alcohol-smell-during-pregnancy#post-2675802 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 14:56:23 +0000 littlejoy 2675802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: I think it's also fermentation for me ... even older fruit or really grainy wheat bread has that smell. Ugh. </p> <p>@IRunForFun: Good to know it might go away before baby is born. It's such a bad smell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aversion-to-alcohol-smell-during-pregnancy#post-2675799 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 14:53:49 +0000 IRunForFun 2675799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That went away for me after the first tri and since then I actually crave wine or a margarita. 2 weeks to go, give or take, till I can give into that craving! </p> <p>Although, the smell of rubbing alcohol/hand sanitizer does still bother me. Not like a full on aversion though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aversion-to-alcohol-smell-during-pregnancy#post-2675798 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 14:51:09 +0000 Rocker2014 2675798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS. It went away as soon as LO was born :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aversion-to-alcohol-smell-during-pregnancy#post-2675796 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 14:50:35 +0000 Rocker2014 2675796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Though for me it was the fermentation smell, not so much the booze. DH brews beer at home, and I nearly died the first time he brewed when I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aversion-to-alcohol-smell-during-pregnancy#post-2675759 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 12:39:09 +0000 littlejoy 2675759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since getting pregnant this time around, alcohol has smelled horrible to me (like rotting corn). It goes beyond booze ... things like cleaning supplies, dry erase markers, etc. - anything with alcohol in it. </p> <p>This didn't happen last time, so I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this, and when it went away? I've been dreaming of a glass of rosé when baby is born in August, but as of now, it would be a nightmare to smell. ;) </p>
