Its your hormones it will get better
Could be that he smells of something he smoked or ate and it bothers you. If he stops consuming whatever it is it may make it better for you. And while pregnant you have a super sense of smell and hormones can make you way more emotional

Just hormones, super normal.
It’s because of your hormones, sweetie. 
I went through a similar thing, not maybe to this extreme but it might be hormones, wait till second trimester. How was the relationship before pregnancy, that might be the bigger question
Hormones fluctuating make us feel crazy! It does go away. I was so irritable and snapped at my poor husband for the first half of my pregnancy and then felt so guilty!
I would just tell him you feel too nauseous to kiss

It’s the hormones. If he brushes his teeth, then try to kiss him. Try a different mouthwash. Or just wait a week or so till it (hopefully) goes away.
It’s normal. Our first two I hated him and the second he also smelled horrible to me I had to change his soap. The third all I wanted was him and instead hated the dogs lmao. When I told him I was pregnant with the third he said “ does this mean you’re going to be mean to me again? “ haha! My poor baby… once you have the baby it will go away. Just try to filter yourself in the meantime he still loves you it will pass.

Just be honest with him and tell him to keep his distance, it’s hormones. I felt the same way about mine for the first few months I couldn’t even stand for him to touch me. It wasn’t like I didn’t love him but physical contact in any way just made me wanna freak out for some reason. It gets better after awhile pregnancy is just weird, hope he is understanding and respects your boundaries.

So. I don’t have advice on why u feel like this or when it’ll go away. But, I do have advice on how u can explain it to ur bf without hurting his feelings. Cuz lets face it. If anyone’s SO said they can’t kiss them without feeling sick, its gunna hurt feelings. Even if there is a rational reason and they understand. But what i would do is stretch the truth just a tad. Id tell him that anything super close to your face makes u sick to ur stomach. Smells heightened, lack of air, etc … So that way hes not thinking its anything to do with him. But, thats not to say u cant just be completely honest with him. U could bring him to a dr appt and talk about it there to so his mind is eased. But i just wanted to offer another way to go in case u just aren’t comfortable telling him exactly

Could be hormones or if you struggle with OCD sounds totally like that too!
I’m mean to mine and he just takes it like a champ for the most part. Your uncomfortable, your body is being flooded by hormones and it’ll pass.
Totally normal pregnancy hormones can do some funny things Repulsed by smells, foods, people and all sorts. Things that you love give you the ick it’s quite funny really
Ah. This is normal. It hurt my husband’s feelings the first time too. It could be the smell of his breath because you’re sensitive to smell, it could be the idea of shared spit, it could be a number of things really. Don’t feel bad, this will change either later in pregnancy or afterwards.

Yup. My husband’s smells and existence disgust me when I’m pregnant. It’ll pass.
It’s normal you have a lot of hormones raging through u!
Yep, that’s normal! This happened when I was pregnant with my girls.
I got mad at my fiance for kissing me. I felt like he smelled like cavities. Like his breath was… ick. I had him make a dentist appt, but he made it for after my due date, so that was helpful.
You are not alone.
It’s the end of my pregnancy and I still do not want to be kissed. And he’s the type of guy that wants a kiss before he leaves and a kiss before bed.
I’m sure he thinks I’m mean, but I can’t fake it. I know it’s hormones and heightened senses and just me feeling yuck.
If only the guy could experience everything that goes on w our bodies.
That’s normal. When I was pregnant with my daughter 40 years ago, I couldn’t kiss her dad. I got sick every time. Lol
This filling will pass I promise. There are time throughout the entire pregnancy you may feel this way; but it is hormones and IT WILL pass, I was like the the end of my first trimester, now I can’t stay off of him. I’ve got 6 weeks til birth.
Show him this comment section. Hormones are INSANE! They make us feel crazy and it’s completely out of our control. 1st and 3rd trimester and up to 6 weeks after birth is the hardest for me every time. And it’s because of all the hormonal changes. I got a bit of reprieve during 2nd trimester but every body, every baby, every pregnancy is different. But seriously, showing him that you feeling this way hurts your feelings and him reading these comments could help put him at ease. On a biological level, we have all sorts of things that we are hyper aware of even if we don’t know what it is that are protective measures. Maybe he has an illness that is asymptomatic but your body recognizes and rejects to protect baby. Some people think that’s crazy but ummmm… our bodies are incredible… if animals can smell sickness, pregnant Mommas can too.
You not crazy. It happens to the best of us
Happened to me too I would get so sick even the thought of him!!’ And I had nooo idea why but it did pass lmao
It happens to us all during pregnancy lol my husband gaged me with his body odor… he thought it was so funny. It quit around 19 weeks for me.
For one, it’s completely normal. Don’t worry. Like everyone else mentioned, the heightened sensitivity to everything is in part a cause. But Mostly, it’s your body trying to protect itself from potential threat. It’s a brain response trying to keep you away from potential harmful bacteria.
And also, you gotta remember we’re just animals at the end of the day, your body doesn’t feel the need to kiss, touch, be sexual because it’s already achieved its goal of reproduction. It’ll more than likely ease in the upcoming months. And post pregnancy, it’ll regulate back to normal.
Its the hormones trust me I was the same way and towards the end of my pregnancy it was all good again i just couldn’t stand him for the first 5 months
Won’t lie my oldest daughters father grossed me out when I was preg… I hated him being near me… I loved him but something about being preg I couldn’t do it… and it was all my pregnancy…
I wouldn’t say that kissing my man makes me sick but I have been extremely cranky and wanted to be left alone this pregnancy. It is hard for them to understand but your body goes through a lot and it can happen. Try to show him love in different ways to connect. Maybe date night/snuggles/doing something you both enjoy. Good luck!
This is a natural response. It will go away eventually. Some people it takes months after the baby is born.
breath stank? too clingy? easily disturbed with too much touch?
your hormone are heightened… sounds normal. … I once couldn’t stand cooking pork chops while pregnant bc it smelled like wet dog in the worse kind of way… it makes no sense! … but I get it!
easy fixes, if stinky breath, tell him to brush better use a mouth spray and have mint handy… say this to him nicely not to be offensive, explain we smell things that can’t be explained right now! lol
too clingy- he may be sweetly showing love, your hormone maybe set on a certain type of nesting your body feels ready to do and other things annoys you. yes thats a thing. try to find what your body is wanting you to do.
and if your easily disturbed its normal- you got yo practice your calming shii find some more outdoor time, walk, lots of sunshine, a little workouts, etc
