Most annoying pregnancy symptom yet...

The most annoying pregnancy symptom I have had so far is my right ear "clogging" (for lack of a better word) while I'm sleeping.   It happens suddenly and wakes me up in a panic with that feeling of being underwater- can't hear anything except a whooshing sound in my ear.  After fake yawning a few times it usually pops and goes away but I'm kind of scared it is going to happen and not pop.

 This is driving me crazy- I absolutely HATE that feeling and after waking up and getting it to pop, it takes me forever to get back to sleep.  This started maybe 1x a week a few months ago but it's starting to happen multiple times a night.

 Dr. Google says that it's from the pregnancy and will go away after delivery.  Anyone else experiencing this?

    I had this too!  I ignored it for a couple weeks and just cleaned out my ears, but eventually it clogged and i couldn't clear it.  I ended up going to the ear doctor and he sucked all the extra wax out and I've been much happier since!  Glad to hear it wasn't only me!

    This has been happening to me throughout my pregnancy, and at different times of the day. The worst part is that I can't hear correctly when it happens and I feel like I am talking funny! I find that if I stay really well hydrated it helps. Good luck!

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one!  Hopefully it will clear for all of us after delivery. 

     I am going to talk to my midwife about it on Tue at my appointment but doubt there is anything I can do besides see an ENT doctor.
