slim Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I am 12 weeks pregnant and I will tell you what, sometimes I think that I am going to throw up because my nose is on scent overload. I have a very keen sense of smell to begin with but when I am pregnant it is just rediculous. Anyone ever had this problem and were you able to overcome it? I don't think I could stand closing my nose with a clothespin for hours. Now since the weather is nice i can really air out our work area, but even when I am at our booth at the the flea market each weekend i get such a headache. I am really hoping this will pass.

MissMary Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 When I was pregnant, I had the same problem, it wasn't candles, but the smell of cooking meat and I was a waitress at a steak hamburger place....I would keep a VERY light scented kleenex in my pocket and occasionally whiff that, so that I only got a teeny bit, but it filled my nose for a while.Is there a scent you can try that with, that you could stand?

slim Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Maybe I will try that with one of our newer scents so i am not so sick of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlemwoman Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 HelloI was pregant with twins and the smell of candles never bother me, but the smell of everything else did.Try putting "Vicks" vapor rub under your nose, if you can stand that smell, it blocks out the others smells rather nicely.

Keeps me from puking! haha I don't have any suggestions tho when you're at shows. Have a happy and healthy 9 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 When I was pregnant just my best sellers made me sick. Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixxidusted Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I thought I was the only one who had this problem! This is the reason I took the pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant. I could smell EVERYTHING, I knew something was up. Thankfully it did fade over the next few months. Thank God! I kept telling myself that I'm never gonna be able to change a diaper if I can't even stand the smell of walking through the grocery store meat department. Congrats!
