I noticed this same smell when I was pregnant with my 3rd baby, went away after pregnancy, returned while prego with my 4th, now occasionally after working out, heavy cleaning day, whatever I'll notice it. I researched a lot on the matter and found out that the smell of urine can give a strong ammonia smell. Happens of course from weak bladder leaking trace amounts throughout the day or a hard workout. Just thought I would mention it just in case
Thanks. I had a c-section so haven't had any issues with that. Or at least not that I am aware of.0 -
I also realize I'm not getting it any more and my fitness has gotten better.0
