Postpartum BO anyone else?

[Tandem mama]

I don't recall this last two times.

I stank. I wash myself a billion times a day. I only have toxin filled devote rant and have been avoiding it. But I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. Why do I smell like a trucker?

I get it with hormone dumps. 2-3days during my luteal phase (usually the 2-3days before AF). :yuck I shower twice a day but still have a strong musk.

It actually started a day or two prior to birth. I assumed hormones but :sick

Yup. Midwives say it's so baby learns your scent/identifies faster. I suppose that makes sense but yeah. I felt gross.

:hug I totally broke out the Secret Shower Fresh. :shifty

Yes ma'am, I call it "Mama Funk!" I totally go back to Lady Mitchum, and stay there for a few (years).

:shrug I lost a baby, placenta, and fluid on Saturday. I'm 2 days pp.

During and right after I gave birth to H, I could barely stand the smell of myself- it lasted a few days. :shiver I'm scared for it this time. :haha

I smelled bad post partum with dd . It seemed like it lasted along time too. Longer than 6 weeks too because I remember going to my yearly physical with my primary doctor around 8-10 weeks and asking her why I sweated so much more now and had more odor. All she said was "well you have gained some weight....." umm no. I didn't smell that bad during pregnancy just suddenly after.

I stunk every time. Like sour milk. Everyone around me swore they couldn't smell it but I could hardly stand it.

I smelled horrendous for months pp. Which was weird because I never once used deodorant during my pregnancy with C. I sweat, but it never smelled at all. Then starting like a week pp, I applied deodorant multiple times a day and it still was bad. :shrug

:yes


My babies LOVED it though. They would nestle right up in my armpit and sleep in the funk :lol

Rubbing alcohol under the arms helps - hormones are so weird :hug
