I started smelling like funky B.O while I was at the hospital after childbirth.....and basically i've been smelling it ever since.
It's underarm stench basically...sorry..sooooo embarrassing!
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.
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!)
Anyone else experience this?
When do childbirth hormones level out? Because this sucks!

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.
-
I think this lasted for me for almost 2 weeks!
-
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?
-
Yikes! I've never heard of this before. Glad @msmini and @autumnlove both say it's only about 2 weeks? Good luck hon!
-
What about some kind of powder?
-
@MsMini: @autumnlove: OH! So....it is just a normal thing? Thank goodness......I hope it only lasts another week. I am 11d PP.
@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!
-
@blackbird: its not really ...sweat. It's just an overall smell. I don't wet my tshirts or anything....I just smell musty
yuck.
-
Darn. Sounds like it'll be over soon enough though!
-
Awww I'm sure it will pass soon!
I was too tired to notice if I smelled ; )
-
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).
-
Oh I was pretty ripe the first few weeks. It balances out after your hormones do. I think it's an evolutionary way to ward off frisky husbands
-
@prettylizy: hahahahhaha well, it's working! DH is like, "what happened to you??!!?" DS doesn't mind mama's stench though:)
-
@TurtleDoves: Well tell him it's mother nature giving you a break! lol!!
-
@TurtleDoves: I think your body is still getting rid of pregnancy fluid!
-
Omg I never had BO before I had my LO!
I smelled so terrible after giving birth.
Not sure how long it lasted, but I have to wear deodorant now. -.- (never had to before!)
yuck.
