Weird Body Odour Problem

Factual Questions

Can pregnancy and gaving a baby change your BO?

I’ve been noticing my BO is alot stronger ever since I had Bub. It is driving me nuts because I’m smelly. And it smells different.

Previously I could shower in the morning and put some deoderant on and that was enough for the day. now I’m showering twice a day and re-apply deoderant a couple of times a day as well.

It is Autum here in Australia and getting quite cool so I can’t blame the weather.

So is this another weird pregnancy/birth side effect?

apologies for any typos - holding baby and typing one handed.

Yes, it can affect how you smell. My scent changed throughout pregnancy and is still changing now. I wonder if it will ever get back to normal.

Hmmm so best to stock up on deoderant then.

It’s all to do with hormonal changes, so I’ve been told.

Try wiping out your scent: http://www.killbo.com/ That guy discovered that strong BO is from bacteria, but the bacteria is hard to wipe out because it survives in clothing and re-infects you. A small amount of bleach in the laundry, plus strong bacteriacide deodorant breaks the cycle.

Great idea bbeaty I’ve got large amounts of nappy wash powder which I should be able to add to my other washes. If the stuff can sanitise nappies it should kill any smelly BO bacteria in my clothes.
