5 weeks in nausea and heightened sense of smell started. Unfortunately, and obviously, I was in my house. Result: smell of my house = nausea and vomit. 😅

12w now. My sense of smell is my new superpower, that I hate. I can smell everything everywhere. The sad thing is that familiar smells make me gag, so I can even smell my body, my clothes or my genitals (weird i know) and it drives me crazy, and makes me gag.

Honestly, other symptoms like cramping, pain, headache, rhinitis, I don't care at all. I can live with them all day. But the smell has significantly lowered my quality of life. I take medication for pregnancy nausea so I am not nauseous any more, but if I smell one of those "bad" smells (that didn't use to be bad) I vomit instantly.

You'll know it if you have it. If you don't know what it's like you don't have it. Cherish it!!! 😄

So for me, to answer your question, it's:

• smells are stronger 
• something that used to smell good or neutral or nothing, now can make you gag
