Why is sense of smell heightened during pregnancy?
Im 9 weeks and suddenly i can smell EVERYTHING, even my husband's perfume makes me want to puke. it's actually so strong na. just curious why this happens in pregnancy? anyone else going through same?
Arey haan, estrogen aur beta-hCG hormones bilkul peek par hote hain na, isi wajah se smell bohot strong lagti hai. Mere ghar mein toh dhoop-batti bhi ban kar di thi maine! Sucking on lemon candies helps a lot to cut that nausea.
It is actually nature's beautiful way of protecting your baby from bad or spoiled food. Your body is working in magical ways right now, so stay positive, keep a small cardamom with you, and take care of yourself.
Totally agree, this is so real. It's because of the sudden rise in estrogen hormones during the early weeks, try wearing a mask or using lemon slices to sniff.
Haan na, mujhe toh kitchen ke tadke ki smell se hi ulti shuru ho jati thi! It's because of pregnancy hormones like estrogen, ho na. Try to keep windows open and avoid strong smells for a few weeks.
Medically, the surge in estrogen and progesterone hormones increases blood flow to the olfactory center, causing hyperosmia. It's completely normal, but if the smell triggers severe vomiting where you can't keep liquids down, do consult your doctor for safe anti-nausea options.
