| Maybe try strong but nice lavender or another perfume.I heard that degree deodorant smells very nice.Maybe try scented heavy flow pads,or an undershirt,cami,or bra with some nice smelling clothes wash.It will eventually go away.That is what I would do. |

A lot of people encapsulate the placenta. I'm thinking of doing it. A friend of mine did it for her 2nd and she swore she had so much more energy and less depression. It is supposed to help keep your hormones from crashing and let's them slowly return to normal levels, preventing depression. Lots of doulas do it for around $250. And yes, you just request it from the hospital-- probably put it in a birth plan beforehand so they know not to toss it. |

When my water broke it smelled lemony to me. Lochia smelled like raw meat.

| I'm expecting my first child and in totally terrified about everything birth,life after,my mom told me that after giving birth you have to stay in for a couple days because you stink so badly after birth no matter how much u wash. It seems about right being you went 9 months without a period and gave birth to a child and smelly sack. |
