It balances out after your hormones do. I think it's an evolutionary way to ward off frisky husbands :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363529 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:27:46 +0000 pastemoo 363529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I had night sweats and BO for a couple months? It's definitely mostly back to normal at 5 months pp (with an occasional night and here and there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363513 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:14:39 +0000 winniebee 363513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww I'm sure it will pass soon!</p> <p>I was too tired to notice if I smelled ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363510 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:13:14 +0000 blackbird 363510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Darn. Sounds like it'll be over soon enough though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363507 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:11:18 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 363507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: its not really ...sweat. It's just an overall smell. I don't wet my tshirts or anything....I just smell musty :p yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363505 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:10:36 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 363505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: @autumnlove: OH! So....it is just a normal thing? Thank goodness......I hope it only lasts another week. I am 11d PP. </p> <p>@NerdBee: I don't "have time" to shower either but the smell disgusts me so much that the minute DH gets home (and before he leaves to work)...I pass him the baby and get my behind into the shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363502 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:08:36 +0000 blackbird 363502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about some kind of powder? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363501 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:07:30 +0000 shopaholic 363501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! I've never heard of this before. Glad @msmini and @autumnlove both say it's only about 2 weeks? Good luck hon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363499 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:05:22 +0000 NerdBee 363499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I experienced this but did not know it was a post partum thing until now. I just thought it was becaused I didn't have time to shower! I don't remember how long it lasted. A few weeks maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363491 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:59:25 +0000 autumnlove 363491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this lasted for me for almost 2 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363485 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:56:19 +0000 MsMini 363485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is a super common PP issue, I can't remember how long it lasted, but it couldn't have been more than a couple weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-smell-badmakes-me-sad#post-363482 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:53:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 363482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started smelling like funky B.O while I was at the hospital after childbirth.....and basically i've been smelling it ever since.<br /> It's underarm stench basically...sorry..sooooo embarrassing!<br /> I shower twice a day now and double up on deodorant but still...I smell funky! And this is new. I have never smelled bad and even when I used to work out I didn't sweat much. Now....ugh. I stink, honestly.<br /> It's not like insane...other people can't smell it except me and my husband when were cuddling in bed in the mornings (even though I shower at night right before bed!)<br /> Anyone else experience this?<br /> When do childbirth hormones level out? Because this sucks! </p>
