Is anyone having problems with their jaw?
With my first PG my jaw use to "pop" and now my right jaw feels stiff and kinda hurts when I open my mouth wide like if I yawn or eat.

Re: Is anyone having problems with their jaw?
Sounds like you have TMJ.

That's TMJ. I have it and it gets aggravated sometimes, either from grinding my teeth or stress.

Re: Is anyone having problems with their jaw?
I have TMJ as well, and I have noticed that it is getting worse. I am actually getting pain down the side of my face and my ear. Plus, I think the cracking is getting louder!

Re: Is anyone having problems with their jaw?
I have very severe TMJ that only surgery can correct and it definatly has gotten worse since PG and that sounds 100% like what you have.
You can see an oral surgeon for it if it bothers you that much

Re: Is anyone having problems with their jaw?
I have really bad TMJ and it definately has gotten worse with pregnancy. If you rub the muscle (it hurts) on the side of your jaw by your ear it will relieve some of the tension and possibly feel better.

Re: Is anyone having problems with their jaw?
UGH...i HAD THAT...HAD IS THE KEY WORD. It was a side symptom of something else I had. The medication I took for it worked wonders and it went away--I do not have it now thank goodness---u all have my sympathy--I would def at least get mouth guards so u do not start grinding if u do not already have one

Re: Is anyone having problems with their jaw?
I thought it might be TMJ but wasn't sure. I am going to see if it gets worse, hopefully it doesnt. It did go away after I delivered so hopefully this does away. Thanks everyone
