Not smelling good - warning TMI

[LaDeeDa]

So this is really embarassing

DF has just informed me that since being PG things aren't all that plesant south of the border and would I mind if he just gives it a miss......

Apparently it was never a prob prior to bubs.....so feeling a bit self conscious now.

I am pretty sure I don't have an infection and I shower twice a day so it's not personal hygeine

Has anyone else experienced this while pg ?

Can he be more specific on "not that pleasant"?

It could be just because things are more moist and leaky (sorry TMI) down that way at the moment that has made it smell a bit different? But if it smells like something specific there are other things it could be.

ETA: DP has just informed me that things do "smell very different down there" when pregnant vs non-pregnant and he does prefer non-pregnant (but not enough not to offer to check again for me before posting )

hi nai,

it doesn't smell like anything in particular just not good apparently.

definately not fishy or yeasty.... eeekkkk sorry all gross I know

dee... I guess your DH feels comfy enough to tell you how he feels which is a good thing. Sounds quite normal cos your hormones do change so it makes perfect sense.

hi cass,
yep i am thrilled that he is comfortable enough to say that to me as well... still feeling pretty mortified though ...LOL

i'm sure it is just hormonal and I'm sure it doesn't help that we've been having warmer weather.
Is there anything i can do? i know we're not mean't to be using deoderants or anything like that
