27 weeks' pregnant: nausea, exhaustion, ears continually popping...normal?

[MaybeMayBaby]

Hello, I'm nearly 27 weeks' pregnant and feel as though I'm on a plane most of the time - my ears are permanently 'popping' (like when you're on a plane, or about to faint) so I can't hear myself (or anyone else!) speak properly. And I'm feeling really sick and tired. Does this sound normal to you? Am sleeping really badly, so that's probably not helping. Meanwhile baby happily kicking away! THanks for any advice

Not sure about the ears popping thing (though you get more blocked up noses during pg so that could be causing it). All the rest, yup, par for the course.

Sympathy in spades!

i have suffered from teh dreaded ear popping since I got pregnant - it gets better some weeks but mainly I feel as if I am on a long haul flight most of the time. Sometimes it helps if I eat someting that involves a fair amount of chewing ... hope this helps!

Sorry to be grim but you get a real build up of wax in your ears during pregnancy so it's probably that. Cotton buds at the ready ladies...

Thanks so much, all! Will get the cotton buds out and see if that helps 13 weeks to go...!
