Im in my second trimester and lately the smell is just so strong, pehle aisa kabhi nahi tha. Drinking enough water also but no diff. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or should i mention it to my gynac? anyone else noticed this?

Uff, my nose has become like a detective's nose in this 3rd trimester, I can smell everything from a mile away! Sometimes the smell is just because our sense of smell gets super sharp now. But yeah, keep chugging water otherwise the dehydration makes it worse.

Mere saath bhi yehi hua tha. It's very common because of hormones and mild dehydration, so try to drink more liquids.

I also had this issue in my first trimester. Just drink lots of water, it really helps to dilute the strong smell.

Usually, it's either dehydration because we forget to drink water busy in office, or a mild UTI. Please track your daily water intake, at least 3 liters is a must. If it burns while peeing, don't wait, just message your doctor immediately.

Hey, don't stress too much about this, it happens to so many of us! Your hormones are doing a crazy dance right now which changes the smell, and our noses get extra sensitive too. Just keep a bottle of coconut water handy and sip it throughout the day.
