Like, as of right now I would rather smell gasoline than smell food cooking :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18992 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:59:27 +0000 aprose 18992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i could not stand the smell of eggs cooking! it was gross </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18962 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:09:08 +0000 Rubies 18962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only food aversion I had when I was pregnant started off with the scent of plain white rice cooking in the rice cooker. It was a sudden thing...One day I walked into the kitchen as the hubs was preparing dinner and I nearly lost my biscuits right on the floor. Gross. It lasted a couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18923 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:18:42 +0000 mamafroggy 18923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Publix fried chicken!

Last night we walked by some smokers and I swore my hair reeked of smoke for hours afterwards. Most food, our dogs, leftovers, dirty clothes, basically everything is so strong smelling now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18880 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 15:45:15 +0000 junebugmama 18880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today DH and I went to an early movie. On the way we stopped to buy some breakfast sandwiches. DH got coffee, which is probably my number hated smell. When we got to the movie he then got buttered popcorn. Needless to say I wanted to throw up. When he realized what he had done he asked if I wanted him to move. </p> <p>I also hate the smell of cigarette smoke and I can smell it from 500yds away. Blech! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18864 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:13:37 +0000 loveisstrange 18864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH eats those hot and spicy Cheez-Its and the smell makes me want to yak. It's AWFUL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18841 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:56:29 +0000 HLK208 18841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lemondrop: :) DH quotes Jim Gaffigan daily...what's worse is he tries to talk in that same voice "hey I like Bacon, buddy"</p> <p>But on a serious note, all of my pregnant friends/family have told me they can't stand the smell of bacon too, you aren't alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18832 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:34:03 +0000 autumnlove 18832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lose it over the Glade plug-ins and the canned air fresheners people use at work. Also, ripe bananas make me hurl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18829 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:24:47 +0000 LAGS 18829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lemondrop - I love Jim Gaffigan, too funny! I can hear him now.</p> <p>Now that I'm mostly over my morning sickness, not nearly as many things smell bad to me. But the other day while in Target, I swear all I could smell was poop?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18826 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:17:15 +0000 heffalump 18826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't stand dog food or my dog's breath. He would always sit in the back of the car and try to come forward and breath on me, so I'd have to open the window and stick my head out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-18808 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 11:25:22 +0000 lemondrop 18808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of smells really bugged me at first, I took up a 2 month strike in the kitchen because everything smelled rotten.<br /> My husband grilled a lot because I could not stand the meat cooking smell.<br /> At this point late in pregnancy, bacon is the only thing that still really grosses me out. My husband still quotes the Jim Gaffigan bacon stand up routine to drive me crazy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-11339 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 07:22:26 +0000 hreichard 11339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldnt stand the smell of popcorn, oh it smelled like rotten tuna to me. I loved the smell of dunkin donuts coffee, oh i had to get a decaf caramel iced coffee a few times a week, i craved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-11334 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:24:40 +0000 erinpye 11334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am doing a lot better with the smells now, but one that still gets me is the smell of people grilling anything, especially burgers--instant severe queasiness. I also for a long time couldn't smell pizza or Chinese food without getting really sick. I can eat pizza now, but haven't ventured to try the Chinese food yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10710 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:37:46 +0000 Mrsbells 10710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instant Noodles.. the people in my office are constantly having noodles for lunch and the smell just makes me want to throw up for hours. I also went through a phase were I couldnt stand the smell of anythin I cooked with tomatoes but thankfully thats passed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10709 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:33:44 +0000 BananaPancakes 10709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point, pretty much everything smells disgusting. Perfumes, food, dogs, people in general. I have a superman sniffer and it's annoying. I also can't stomach leftovers, and actually have a really difficult time eating anything that I cook. All that time preparing it just grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10675 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:43:31 +0000 Rock n Roll 10675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sausage was the WORST when I was pregnant with my daughter. You want sausage on your pizza? Eat it outside, buddy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10562 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:01:32 +0000 Red 10562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband likes to drink scotch occasionally and it smelled like burning gasoline to me. We would be at a party and I'd tell him to go to the other side of the room. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10496 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:09:47 +0000 HLK208 10496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Megwag: so lucky! </p> <p>Another one I thought of, the smell of my couch...we just bought a cheapie couch and it smells like clay but worse? So weird, but I can't stand it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10418 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 14:40:42 +0000 MegWag 10418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had any real smell or food aversions. I'll count myself lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10416 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 14:39:02 +0000 Boogs 10416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A certain, clear particular Dial handsoap (I think lavender vanilla?) and pho soup. My baby is 6 months old and I still can't smell either one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10397 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 13:30:03 +0000 cvbee 10397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JBHOPS: I also cannot stand leftovers in pregnancy.....and normally I'm really good about eating leftovers. I figure it is a good thing, since leftovers could be potentially sketchy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10373 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 11:16:52 +0000 Killer b 10373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beer. Oh, my lord, did I HATE the smell of beer. I swore to my husband that I could smell it leaking out of his pores. Whenever he drank, I made him go sleep on the couch!! Ha. It just drove me nuts. He would come home from anything, fishing, helping a buddy with his car, or whatever, and as soon as he walked through the door I could smell it, even if he only had one beer three hours ago. That was my one preggo super power! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10369 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 11:13:20 +0000 chopsuey 10369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's cologne made me sick. Crazy because I was the one who bought it for him because i LOVED how it smelled on him. HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10364 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 10:48:56 +0000 LAGS 10364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can barely be in the same room as my dog, and yet I seem to be the only one who smells her. The smell of our laundry dried on the clothes line also makes me gag. DH loves the smell of clothes off the line so I'm super happy its cold and we're back to using the dryer, it helps dull the scent. Not much of anything smells good to me lately :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10356 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 10:29:09 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 10356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, first time around it was Asian food. Funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10350 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 10:24:26 +0000 tequiero21 10350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>currently, i'm using kirland dishwashing detergent and i have to breathe through my nose when i do the dishes. really hating the smell. also, for awhile, the smell of kimchi was so nauseating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10344 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 10:17:41 +0000 mediagirl 10344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftovers. I can't clean out our tupperware containers we take to work right now. The food isn't spoiled, it's just...old? I don't really smell much that makes me think I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-scents-drive-you-crazy-while-pregnant#post-10332 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 09:54:24 +0000 HLK208 10332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nose has been driving me crazy. There are some scents that trigger m/s and others that I can't get enough of.<br /> Right now, it's the smell of our new appliances when they heat up (especially the oven) that make me so sick. The dishwasher, stove and toaster bother me too (they're all brand new so it's that burning plastic smell, bleh!)<br /> I'm loving the smell of clean laundry and powdery perfume...so unlike me.<br /> Last pregnancy, it was coffee.</p> <p>So what makes your stomach turn? What scents do you love right now? </p>
