Perfume and Pregnancy

I had my baby eight months ago and for most of my pregnancy, I could not wear my usual perfumes. They do say that the pregnancy hormones can make your scent smell different and I found this with the fragrances I was wearing in rotation during that time - Dior Addict, Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood, Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker and Hiris by Hermes. In fact, wearing them, especially Boudoir, which can be quite sickly, made me want to heave.

The American Pregnancy Association says of wearing perfume during pregnancy:

'...Though it's safe to use perfume during pregnancy, you may be more sensitive to perfumes and find that some scents make you nauseated, light-headed, agitated, or more prone to headaches...'

Has anyone else found this to be true?
