Ear/Jaw Pain?

My left ear and left side of my jaw have been really sore for the past couple of days for no apparent reason. It hurts to chew. I plan on asking my doctor about this when I see him on Thursday, so I'm not seeking medical advice. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

  • Yes, when I had an ear infection.
  • Yes but it had nothing to do with pregnancy.

  • Also, since this is mostly likely not pregnancy related, you might want to make an appointment with your regular physician. In my experience, OBs usually send you to a regular doctor for random health concerns not related to your pregnancy.

    Yes. I have that except on my right side. Although because I have it doesn't mean it's the same reason for your pain/issue. I have something similar to a temporary version of TMJ...my doctor said some pregnant women get it, not many, but some and it should go away once the LO arrives. Mine isn't persistent though--mostly hurts at night. But with that being said, you should definitely talk to your primary doctor or dentist about it if it is something you are worried about.

  • I had this, but it was a reaction to how I was taking my iron( I had swelling, excessive gum bleeding, ear ache) and the iron was my only change. I was doing 1 large dose and they had me break it down to 2 smaller doses and we discovered I am allergic to the supplements. But my scenario is rare.

  • Yes,move had this at around 34-35 weeks. Dr said that it wasn't common but wasn't unheard of. It did go away. I did go to the dentist before going to the ob, and all was fine. Apparently hormones cause it. I got ear, jaw and headaches.
