Question

Why am I finding that my sense of smell is heightened?

Answer

Many mums-to-be find their sense of smell becomes heightened during pregnancy, which can mean a once-loved aroma of fried onions may now turn your stomach and make morning sickness worse. You may also notice your favourite perfume smells different on your body. This is because hormonal changes can alter your skin's chemistry.
