So this is really embarassing :redface:
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 :redface::redface::redface:
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 :rolleyes: )
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
:hug: 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

:ROFL: Nai .... your a crack up!
well it's good to know it's not just me then..... DF is pretty picky at the best of times
(calls it the 3rd armpit :redface:)
DH says the smell when pg turns him on....but im very aware things dont smell right and forever saying something about it. He always tells me to calm down and that its fine.
Makes sense. Things are supposed to be all rosey and sweet down there around O time, so I'd understand if the body just decided not to bother while pregnant LOL.
How about if you were to shower JUST beforehand? Or have a sponge-down?
i have had the same!! DH says its fine but im not comfortable with the odour! ive had 2 swabs done and all is ok, its just pregnancy mucos, i do find wearing liners helps!!
:( snacks he told me this 15 mins after I got out of the bath :(
I'm wondering if like men (pineapple ...lol) it has something to do with what we eat .... because sometimes he reckons it's fine.
Kimbaz... I'm the same I know that something is "different" but I wasn't of the opinion that I was walking around the neighbourhood with a trail of stray cats following me.....:ROFL:
yep - mine kept changing too, not pleasant for first and second ri, but after about 30 weeks it was smelling really... well.... enticing ;)
hi all
i'm aware of something similar - more 'discharge' TMI i think is causing it i'm sure.
Doubledee you're a CRACKUP 'third armpit' that is funny.
my partner hasn't commented on it but truth be told i haven't let him down there 'no, no, i'm fine, lets just do it' LOL and he raised the issue and said it was totally ok... but i'm v self conscious at the best of times. :redface:
Hey Mustangsachy... LOL if I don't laugh I'll cry :ROFL:
To be honest I am not a huge fan of him being down there much at the moment either (normally I'm fine) but now I DEFIANTELY don't want him there :)
I'm going to have to tell my partner that comment - way to funny to not tell him.
i wouldn't worry too much about it.
i'm constantly blown away by how much our bodies change and do very strange things when we're pregnant. perhaps this is the bodies defence mechanism saying 'no sex' LOL? :rolleyes:
lol god i hope not!!
I am so scared of all the mums and dads who reckon you never get any after bubs arrives...lol
yep DF is a charmer with the way he refers to our "bits" my fave is the way he calls it a "snapper" .... try explaining THAT to people when it pops up in conversation LOL
DF sounds hilarious... snapper .... classic!
yes i hope that it doesn't dry up after having a baby. although prior to being UTD ... it was regular but now i'm preggo ... i just cbf. poor partner is having a drought!
is this ur first too?
dee- i don't want to freak you out at all, but have you done a urine sample lately to check it's not a UTI? might be worth a try as i believe they are more common in pregnancy.
mustang - i went through a period about your time where i cbf either ... it passes after a while though and yep this is my first bub too
Hey Rainforest... I thought that too but the test came back clear.... which is great :)
maybe i shouldn't get anchovies on my pizza next time :)
My DH never commented on an odour, but at about 25 weeks I had an increase in CM and the melted cheese taco look did not do it for him.
sometimes being extra hygienic during pregnancy doesn't do you any favours, because your skin's more sensitive to soap and fragrances. are you using liners? apparently you can develop an kind of temporary allergy to them. i assume you're using cotton undies etc...
hi mgm
i haven't been using liners as I haven't had a lot of discharge and I have no admit I am still in my pre preg lacy undies, mainly g strings still
maybe I should go and buy some cotton ones....
thanjks :)
