Can pregnancy cause smelly armpits?

Question

Ok this is embarrassing but since i got pregnant my underarms smell so strong even after bath, like double of normal. My deo isnt even helping. Is it the hormones doing this?

No need to buy expensive body washes. Just use simple alum (fitkari) or baking soda, it works great and saves money for delivery expenses.

Yes, that pregnancy glow sometimes comes with extra sweat! Try using a mild alcohol-free roll-on.

With twins my hormones were double, so you can imagine the sweat! It is very common, just wear loose cotton clothes.

It is just your body working hard to grow a new life, accept these small changes. Stay positive and use simple, gentle natural soaps.

Don't feel conscious, dear. The increased blood flow in your body makes you sweat more. Just shower twice and wear fresh cotton.

I thought I had some hygiene issue and got so stressed! But it's just pregnancy hormones making us sweat more, don't worry.
