Body odor
Has anyone else had really bad BO since giving birth? I brought it up to my midwife and she said that it's because of all the hormones, but good God! I can take a shower, and get out nurse the baby and I literally smell again. It's ridiculous! I don't remember this happening when I had my daughter two and a half years ago

Yeah I'm noticing I'm sweating so much. I find I just smell sweaty most times and probably milky as my breasts leak through the night then I wake up sweating and leaky lol

Yep I do. I never use to have Bo. But my usual deodorant is not cutting it.

Yes I agree my deodorant is not cutting it as well. I noticed this in church this morning, I was fresh and had deodorant on and then sitting in church my shirt was wet by my armpits uggg

I have a medicial condition that effects the sweat glands under my arms.. Pre- pregnancy I only needed to use deodorant every 2 days or so.. now I have to put it on in the morning and reapply in the evening cause I sweat like a faucet at night.

I had this problem during pregnancy too with this one. I'm still waiting for it to go away as I'm constantly reapplying my deodorant.

Yep! I apply deodorant 2-3x a day. I shower in the morning or afternoon (depending on when baby is asleep and hubby is awake). And I even do a quick wash up before I go to bed. But I feel like I constantly smell and I never feel clean enough ?

Before I shower, I spray my body with freshly squeezed lemon juice (armpits, inner thighs, breasts). I leave it on those parts for 10 minutes. Then when I shower I scrub my body with soap as I regularly would, except for those areas (no soap). This is the only thing that works for me. If I don't do this, I end up stinking so bad. The lemon juice really does help. I still sweat but it doesn't smell. Lol ?

That's super interesting, I will have to try the lemon juice! I'm all about natural remedies!
