Does scents drive anyone else crazy?
My sense of smell is always uber sensitive. But during pregnancy it's even more heightened. Perfume & scented lotions give me horrible headaches!!! Of course my fellow female co-workers love both.

Ripe bananas

Yep. Laundry detergent made me the most sick though.
Other bad scents were, coffee, bathrooms (more so than usual lol), shampoo, dish soap, the smell of new appliances heating up, perfume, the list goes on!
-
Yes - the smell of my dogs!
-
@Mamasig: oh no!
@HLK208: diaper genie = throw up.
-
Can't stand the smell of my couch! Which is sad because it's my favorite place to sit at the end of the day.
@Mamasig: my dogs too, they're so stinky!

I couldn't stand "refrigerator smell." I made my husband remove all of the food from our fridge for most of my pregnancy.
-
Oh man, so many things bug me! The smell of cooking chicken nuggets, olive oil, certain soaps, and a ton of other things.
-
YES. It doesn't even have to be a bad scent. Any strong scent makes me gag. erg.
-
Whatever yogurt my co-worker is eating is absolute DISGUSTING smelling.
My co-worker who sits behind me reeks like a ashtray. He takes a smoke break like every 40 minutes.
Another co-worker has horrible B.O. I literally hold my breath if I walk into a room after him.
-
One of my co-workers smokes and then she bathes in perfume. It was weird, though - the first few days I thought it was the most delicious scent... but now it makes me want to take her outside and hose her off.
Unfortunately my office looks down upon spraying down my co-workers.
Don't even get me started on my other co-worker who seems to be on a canned tuna diet. Some of us are struggling with morning sickness over here, lady!

For me, my trigger was the smell of meat. For the majority of my pregnancy, I couldn't walk anywhere near the meat counter at the grocery.

@BakerBee: HAHAHAH do we work in the same office???
-
@locavore_mama: HA sounds like it.
-
@BakerBee: I just walked by b.o. coworker and literally got assaulted with his b.o. *barf*
-
Cooking smells bothered me.
-
Chemical smells really bothered me. We went into a furniture store once and the smell of the carpets made me gag.
-
Scents killed me, body odor/gas, any "gross" bodily function smell sent me running for the bathroom. I vomited 2x from DH farting in the car, I've never been more mad at him for that.
-
I have been smelling sour patch kids (which I love) all day and it just donned on me that it was my dry shampoo. The smell was starting to make me really sick too
-
Coffee! Someone in my office has been brewing really strong-smelling coffee all day today, and the smell is making me so queasy.
