For some reason my "under arm area" does not smell like BO when I sweat, instead it smells like onions, anyone else ever heard of or experienced this? and do u think it could just be my hormones and everything trying to get back to normal or something?
 
Wow. I just had a baby 3 weeks ago too. =]
Her name is Layla.
But to answer your questions- Hormones.
Simple as that. They make everything act weird. Haha
The good news: It wont last forever.
Good luck with your new baby !
 
It's your hormones mine do this when I am pregnant and after giving birth so I wear secret deodorant and it helps.Also wash down with a wash cloth in the morning and use the deodorant after so your not masking it.I hope I helped.
 
I went to school with a girl who had BO that smelt like onions. It turned out that it was, in her case, because she didn't wash the old sweat and deodorants off properly before applying the next lot and it kind of built up and smelt like onions. I am not suggesting that you do not wash/shower properly though and it could well be something to do with your hormones. I sweated a lot before I got pregnant but didn't sweat at all while I was pregnant and now, 11 months after giving birth I still don't sweat so it's definitely possibly that the smell associated with your odour has changed.
 
YES! I smelled absolutely gross after giving birth for months! Ugh is was awful! It took me about 3-4 months to smell "normal" again in all of my various bits. But it gets better :-) I think it's just hormones/shedding weight, esp water weight.

Congrats on the new baby!
