Guys - I feel generally stinky post baby. This is so gross! I'm showering every day and wearing deodorant, etc. Other than my night sweats I mentioned in another post I don't sweat or get hot at all. I just feel so yuck and smelly! I am guessing this is also a result of hormones.
anyone else feel like a stinker after their LO was born?

Yep, this too! Hubs never noticed, though, or anyone else (or if they did they were very nice and didn't mention it--but DH is a horrible liar, and would tell me if I smelled bad), so it was just me that thought I smelled bad.
ETA: It passes! I stopped feeling like a big walking night-sweating hormonal pile of BO around 6 weeks.

Oh yeah. I felt so gross and stinky for the first month or so. I would sweat so much (and ended up chopping all of my hair off in a drastic move). It's the horror-mones.

It is totally normal. Same thing here. And it goes away -- don't worry.

Oh yeah, luckily I was able to take 2+ showers a day because DH was home with us for three weeks. I felt better around 4 weeks.

Yeah, for about 3 months. I'm still more stinky than I ever was before, though.

haha yup! Good news is, it goes away 
but then it is replaced with baby yuckies (poop, pee, spit up, drool)

I totally feel stinky. Constantly. I'm sitting here right now, freshly showered, hair still in the towel, and I still feel gross!
