Your sense of smell can get super sensitive during pregnancy because of all the hormone changes, so things that wouldn’t normally bother you can feel really strong and overwhelming. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like that ❤️!!

I stopped having my nails done while I was pregnant because I couldn’t cope with the smell - you’re not alone!

hahah that’s good to know! i’d it just me but i still feel horrible a few hours later off it i feel abit like dissociating sort of thing, it could just be my anxiety too 🩷

I found the salon smell offputting when pregnant so I booked the first appointment of the day when there’s no build up of fumes. So much nicer.
