i started taking my prenatal vitamins and once i started taking them i had a AWFUL smell `down there` and it kept getting stronger and stronger and ive been showering 3x a day!! so i stopped taking the vitamins to see if the smell would go away, but it hasn`t! actually its decreased ALOT. but its so bad. to the point where i come home and change my undies. idk what it could be. and when i went to the hospital they did blood work and a vaginal and didnt find anything. (i was thinking maybe it could be a std) but wouldn`t the doctor have detected it? so it may still be the vitamins. theyre ugly brown one that smell gross. idk what else it could be. and i shower 2135134x a day. please help. =(

HaleyD - 82 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Sounds like vaginitis. It's a bacterial infection. Makes you pretty much smell like garbage down there. Changes with your hormones can affect your PH balance down there and you get bacterial vaginitis.

moms the word - 82 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You could have a bacterial infection. Call your doctor to get evaluated and possibly treated and take the vitamins cause they help to prevent some birth defects.

My guess is you have something called bacterial vaginosis....The only sympton is a bad fishy smell. Your doc can give you anti biotics to get rid of the infection. During my first trimester I was getting yeast infections alot and I had bacterial vaginosis once too

I was sure everyone could smell it, and I went to the dr and he could find nothing. I did go away, if it's any consolation. I used pantyliners and changed them a lot during the day!!

dawnispregz - 83 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i have never heard of prenatal vitamins giving you a smell in that area, but i do know that women who are pregnant have a different hormonal smell and unfortunately theres nothing that we can do to prevent it, we have a higher pH level so we do smell more hormonely-but only to us-as we also have a higher sense of smell. My mr cant tell when i think im smelling a little bit so i know its paranoia on my part and my heightened smell, Dont worry about it,x
