My hands smell

I run the risk of sounding really odd, but I woke up this morning and my hands smell like garlic or onions. I showered and cleaned up, but they still smell the same. Either my husband put the garlic clove in my hand last night and then took it out before I woke up this morning or it’s a pregnancy thing. (Btw, he would never) Interested in hearing your thoughts, chat!

This happens to me all the time if I have food with heavy garlic/onion.

This happened to me when I was pregnant too!!!

I hated the smell of my own skin, I think it was early days for me too so it will stop for you 🤞🏻🤣

There are all kinds of weird things related to hormone levels during pregnancy. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I turned most of the toilet seats a bit blue!

Oh, and the smell of my body made my hyperemesis much worse. I even went to the doctor to see if I had an infection in my lady bits or something and they were like “you don’t smell. There’s no infection. You just have a nose like a bloodhound right now so it’s likely progesterone or oestrogen you’re smelling” Which is true, I could smell a drop of vinegar from 3 rooms away when my husband made dinner once.

I definitely didnt enjoy the smell of my skin when I was early on in my pregnancy

I think if you eat foods heavy in garlic and onion it will seep through your pours. But also if you have been chopping lately then it will stain your hands:

@Britney thank goodness! I’m so appalled by my scent lol

@Sarah🌼 I just read about this!! My family is having a hard time believing it!!

@Sarah🌼 a nose like a bloodhound 😂 no seriously, I totally get this
