Take The Quick 3-Question Pregnancy Body Changes Quiz
QUESTION 1
Your sense of smell can heighten during pregnancy
That's right!
Your sense of smell often becomes stronger during pregnancy. Hormonal shifts can make scents feel more intense, including your own natural body odor.
Not quite
Your sense of smell can heighten during pregnancy. It’s a normal response to hormonal changes and often makes odor changes feel more noticeable.
QUESTION 2
Body odor always means something is wrong
A common misconception, but not right.
Body odor doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Most scent changes during pregnancy come from normal hormonal and metabolic adjustments.
Correct!
Most body odor changes during pregnancy are normal. Hormones, extra sweating, and skin chemistry shifts usually explain the difference.
QUESTION 3
Postpartum body odor is uncommon
You're spot on
Postpartum body odor is actually very common. Hormone drops, night sweats, and milk production all influence your natural scent after birth.
Close, but no
Postpartum body odor isn’t rare. It often happens as your body adjusts after birth. Hormones and increased sweating play a big role.
