austrina babe~~ how often do u experience tat? If its once in a while, shd be fine. I will chew something to make the "blocked" feeling go away~

if its so often and painful somemore, advisable to see a doctor or to highlight to your gynae, perhaps it due to water retention or something?

i do experience it once in a while but after i chew a sweet it goes away. I was quite bloated and has water retention problem at the feet area when i was pregnant....quite bad, was swollen and cannot wear my pretty sandals....:(

Hmm, so far i didnt face blocked ears problem until now of my pregnancy. I am in my 17th wks reaching 18th weeks.

*Pray that I wont experience this problem.*

Hmm, i think another way to solve block ear is to try yawning? Can try.. it works for me each time my ears are blocked aftermy shower:err:

i have blocked ears every now and then, usually on my left side. and then when i speak, i hear echo. hate the feeling. but i usually chew on something, and it goes away after a while.
