Debate About Heightened Senses During Pregnancy

Which of Your Senses Is Heightened During Pregnancy?

April 28, 2009

Pregnancy hasn't just given Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz, 38, a healthy glow. Apparently, it has also given her psychic powers. She recently told People:

Before I found out I was having a girl I dreamt that I was having a girl. I even dreamt what her name was, so I guess that name should be her real name.

Many of you say you developed a supersensitive sniffer during pregnancy, a more common (and likely!) pregnancy symptom than ESP. While I can't refute Ortiz's experience, chances are she was just in tune with her body and correctly guessed the sex. Which of your senses experienced the greatest change while you carried baby?

Definitely sense of smell. Nothing smells good. Even chocolate makes me flee in terror.

SMELL! Big time. And I think, because my sense of smell was heightened to super-hero levels, I could also taste a lot better.

I can smell out anything with this pregnancy as well as my last. My husband says I have senses like a dog. My eyesight gets worse when I am pregnant.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one with the hearing thing! It drove me crazy to watch TV as I could hear if it was poorly mixed. It was like I could hear all the separate tracks of audio they used. Hard to explain. I had a dream that I went to the store and all they had were boy eggs left. I searched and searched for the girl ones but there was nothing. Now that I have my second boy I'm thinking I may have had a bit of that ESP thing going on ;-)
