    Heightened sense of smell returned?

    Hey guys,

    Over the past week or so, my heightened sense of smell has come back with a passion and ANY smell is making me ill. Perfumes, cleaning products, paint smells, petrol, smoke, food, ummm........ ALL smells!! I thought this was just a first trimester thing!!
    I have to step outside sometimes to get away from people and smells. It's driving me insane!!!!

    Anyone else had this? Or am I just a freak?

    It never left me at all during pregnancy. In fact, it never actually seemed to go at all and I still have a very acute sense of smell now. If you're a freak, then I'm a freak too!

    Mine was stronger in my first trimester but is still pretty acute now, working in a staffroom where one woman has a love of boiled eggs does not help!

    Im hoping it will go away after bub comes but helps me to identify when i need to throw food out. LOL
