During this last week it seems my sense of smell has heightend. It is a pain in the butt!

All these smells are making me puke! I catch a whiff of somthing, and all of a sudden I am sick to my stomach. The smell of dish soap, pickles, food cooking, or other things that normally don't bother me, send me in a nausous tail spin..

I have all the air filters on in the house... but it seems my nose will find somthing offensive, no matter what I do.

Bless your heart. I remember what that's like. Ugh. You may have a hard time gaining weight because of that. Hopefully you won't. I don't really have any solutions for you . . . when I was pregnant with my youngest, the doctor gave me medicine (don't remember what it's called) that took care of that problem, but it knocked me out, which is pretty much just as big a problem.

I hope this yuckiness will pass quickly for you, Janders. Best wishes.

Janders, I can empathize. I am a serious coffee drinker, but when I was pregnant with the twins, even my husband brewing a pot of coffee made me sick. I couldn't stand the smell of shampoo or body wash either. My doctor gave me suppositories to help with the nausea, especially since I wasn't gaining weight.

If I remember correctly most of the nausea went away after the first three months. I hope yours ceases soon!

Ha, Ha, Ha with you I puked for 3 months and couldn't stand the smell of any type of meat cooking anywhere. If you can stand the smell of mentholatum put that under your nose and it will cut down on your ability to smell anything else. Stay out of the litter box, Jay needs to clean that 2 times a day at least for you.

Love mom
