Throbbing ear!

Im 22 weeks pregnant, and the last week or so, in my left ear, every day, but not all day, Iv had a wierd kind of throbbing in my left ear. It sounds just like a heartbeat in my ear (I know how crazy that sounds) but its only every now and then, and not in rythm like a heartbeat, its just the same dull noise.
Is this a pregnancy thing? Because im having horrible visions of a bug living in there or something! Weve all heard of at least one horror story like that!
Also, do you know if you can have your ears syringed when pregnant?

I have that, its called pulsatile tinitus. might be due to increased blood volume during pregnancy although I have it all the time cos of hearing issues. If you're worried mention it to your gp although it will probably go on its own once you've had baby
congrats and happy xmas
