Weird New Smells, Big New Feelings

Sniffing the Air Like a Bloodhound? Yup.

Welcome to the beautifully bizarre world of pregnancy, where your nostrils seem wider than your vocabulary for cursing... or at least trying to breathe through all the things you never noticed before. Yes, your sense of smell has gone into overdrive, and we’re not just talking freshly baked cookies or morning brews. It’s like your nose just graduated magna cum laude in Scent Studies, unleashing the ability to detect notes ranging from a mile away takeaway garlic to your neighbor's pet hamster cage. And let’s face it, you’re questioning how you ever lived before with such unrefined nostrils.

The Top 5 Weirdest Pregnancy-Smell Discoveries

• The Minty Monster: Hubby’s usually refreshing toothpaste feels like it's attempting a coup over your olfactory senses.
• The Phantom Fumes: Mysterious, phantom scents that cause you to ninja-run upstairs to tackle the smoky buffet your imagination swears exists.
• Coffee Conundrum: Future moms either adore their steaming cup of joe or want it banished like the villain in a soap opera. But, latte art still slays.
• Perfume Palooza: Your favorite perfume sadly morphed into a skunk parade, now locked away in the fragrance castle till further notice.
• The Indoor Nature: Plants, especially flowering ones, now either make you swoon or swole (not the fun gym kind).

Of course, you might find that the scent circus doesn’t just frequent your world now but has also set up camp inside your body. This brings us right into the 'new feelings' section of our carnival tour!

Lemme Tell You About All These Feels

Second trimester hormonal gymnastic routines are so intense; they make Cirque du Soleil look like an amateur show. Thes

e chemical cartwheels play a number on not only your senses but your emotions too. So, brace for impact because it’s going to be like The Bachelor finale, but with more tears and fewer roses.

“You’ll suddenly have the ability to relate to all those '90s love ballads you used to laugh at.”

Note to self: Don’t skip those tissue sales now; it's your jam-packed emotional playlist:

• Laugh: Be prepared for laughing fits over innocuous things like puppies barking at their shadows.
• Cry: This may sneak in when you're least expecting it, like while cutting onions or during that TikTok compilation of dogs welcoming returning soldiers.
• Rage: Penny for your thoughts? How about a dollar for the person who steals your parking spot or finishes the cereal without considering your late-night cravings?
• Awe: On the plus side, you’ll discover deep, newfound awe over things like sunsets, your loving partner, and the precise geometric consistency of Doritos.
• Nausea: Remember, you’re still a nausea ninja in case these feels go too far!

While you're toting all these feels and confusing scents, remember you'll need supporting gear that can keep up with your flavor of fabulous. Imagine slipping on Emamaco’s maternity leggings—like clothing that understands the definition of stretch goals and much more.

But Let’s Not Forget the Less Glamorous Side

Because while multitasking heightened senses and emotions is practically a superpower, we have to acknowledge the lesser-known chapters of this epic saga:

• Cloudy Concentration: The unexpected fogginess in your brain sometimes makes grocery lists seem more challenging than solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded.
• Unpredictable Sneezes: Ah-choo! There’s a party you didn’t RSVP to, and its theme is 'The Sneeze of Surprise.'
• Snoring Symphony: This one particular night, you can almost see yourself auditioning for a symphony orchestra with the snores needing no invitation.
• g>Bathroom Bumps: You thought you knew the frequency of bathroom visits, but the second trimester is sending the call of nature quite often.
• Awkward Public Moments: Say hello to waddling like a penguin, knocking things over, and the irresistible urge to be unfashionably comfortable in public places.

Yet, despite all these quirks, being fully equipped with trendy and functional maternity fashion can ease some pregnancy blues. Slide into the world’s comfiest nursing crop top—perfect for those scent-sensitive, emotional roller coaster days. You’ll find sanctuary garments at Emamaco.
