Headaches and popped ear

[1sttimemum2021]

I'm 21 weeks today and so far it's not been a pleasant journey due to sickness and headaches.

I have headaches every other day and recently I've also developed a slight ear irritation, it's as if when you've been on a plane and your ear pops.

After a quick google and self diagnosis it seems that this can be common in pregnancy due to increased blood flow around the nasal and sinus area. Just wondered if anyone else has had this and if so how long did it last?

Hi, not the popped ear but headaches yes daily! I've had them since 9 weeks (16 now) and found the best advice on here was lots of water, fresh air and carbs at breakfast. It's always worse when I've had disrupted sleep. Been told totally normal and due to hormones what else hope you feel more NormaL soon x
