How Can Pregnant Women Keep Body Odor Away?
A sudden fluctuation in metabolic rates coupled
with increased blood flow makes your glands work
overtime. Besides that, your nose will start
picking up on the faintest of smells. And soon,
you will notice that you no longer smell as nice
as before. Body odor can make you feel conscious
and even embarrassed. However, before feeling
insecure, we should remember it is due to
hormonal change.

  • What Causes Body Odor During Pregnancy?
  • Estradiol, a hormone that increases during
    pregnancy, heightens your sense of smell. While
    outside odors slip under the radar, the smell
    emerging from your own body might become
    intolerable. The best way to cope with such
    bodily changes is by understanding the underlying
    reasons.
  • Hormonal Change
  • A drastic change in hormonal levels makes the
    body produce a pungent smell. The most affected
    areas are the armpits and the genitals,
    explaining why pregnant women have to put up with
    underarm odor.
  • Excessive Sweating
  • You will find yourself struggling with heat as
    your body temperature shoots up. Plus, the
    additional weight of pregnancy makes you sweat
    profusely, intensifying body odor. Body moistness
    also creates an ideal atmosphere for bacteria to
    thrive.

  • Increased Sensitivity
  • During pregnancy, you will experience different
    cravings and sensations. As a result of the
    heightened sense of smell, your nose will pick up
    scents that people around you have not noticed.
    So, theres a chance your body odor is not as
    foul as your nose is making it out to be.
  • Preparation for Breastfeeding
  • During pregnancy, your body starts lactating.
    Until the babys hearing and vision develop,
    their sense of smell is their only guide.
    Therefore, when your body emanates a strong odor,
    your baby will recognize you by your scent. Even
    the smell coming from your armpits will encourage
    the baby to swirl towards your breasts.
  • Change in Diet
  • You will need a lot of nutrition during
    pregnancy, which is why you should eat a wide
    variety of nutritious food, ranging from fruits
    to leafy vegetables. However, your food choices
    can also impact your body odor. For instance, red
    meat has amino acids that cause sweating, and
    seafood affects body odor and vaginal discharge.
    Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower contain sulfur
    that gets absorbed in the bloodstream and erupts
    as sweat on the skins surface.

  • How to Smell Nice During Pregnancy?
  • Bathe Twice a Day
  • Taking a shower twice a day can keep body odor
    away. Use an anti-bacterial soap to kill the
    bacteria causing body odor. Remember, bacteria
    thrive in moist spaces, so dry your skin
    thoroughly using a towel.
  • Keep your skin fresh
  • You can also use home remedies to smell fresh.
    While taking a shower, keep a container with some
    water and squeeze a few drops of lemon. This will
    keep your skin fresh for a long time.
  • Shampoo Regularly
  • Shampoo thrice a week and spray your comb with
    perfume. This will make your hair smell nice
    every time you comb it.
  • Stay Trimmed
  • Trim your body hair, especially in the armpits
    and genitals.
  • Stay Hydrated
  • Remember to drink a lot of water and fluids.
