Stuffy ear???

So I woke up the other day and thought I went deaf in 1 ear overnight. My ear was totally clogged like w/the pressure when you fly and have to pop your ear and i couldn't hear at all on that side. I got up, went about my business and it eventually went away...but if I press my face in front of my ear or under my ear on my neck it clogs up again! I read in "What to expect" that clogged ears are part of the extra fluid, etc. but I never heard anyone talk about this!! Anyone else get this???

YES!!! both ears were plugged most of my pregnancy with my son. i hated it. my ears would just pop at all different times during the day. and yes, if you read "what to expect while expecting", its normal. just another thing that goes along with pregnancy. sometimes i would use one of those ear bulbs to flush out my ears. it worked most of the times.

Thanks! I will try the ear bulb thing. It feels so far in, it's weird. I hope it goes away! Glad to know I'm not the only one!!!!!!!!!! :)

If it hurts, though, I'd go to the doc and get it checked out to make sure it's not an infection. I do have this all the time, too. It's from my allergies, as well as the extra preggo fluids. Yum.
