weird symtom... ear wax??

[Mrs5707]

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like my ears are producing more ear wax than usual, and they're itching like crazy down in them!! I bent up a paper clip and have been sticking it down in my ear to scratch it! (I know that's weird but promise I don't go too far in) I just can't get them to stop itching!!!
Anybody else experiencing this???

Not so much itching, but I feel like they are producing more wax and at times it feels like i have water in my ears or something like the wax is all watery and comes forms in heaps. very annoying.

I've noticed that I have to clean out my ears more often. It seems like the wax they are producing is darker too (probably TMI). But they also itch like crazy! I thought I might have had an ear infection, but my doctor ruled that out.

My ears are so itchy and I do have more wax in there, my DR says the itching is normal as he checked and i don't have swollen glands ect. He also told me secretions increase when pregnant, weird because this is not a symptom I had with any of my other pregnancies.

I definitely have this symptom! Itchy and LOTS more wax. I have always been OCD about keeping my ears clean, so now it's a full time job! Haha.

That's funny, I never thought anything of it but I've been noticing an increase in ear wax as well. And definitely itchy, I usually use the end of a bobby pin to scratch lol. I noticed it, but didn't think of it as a pregnancy symptom. Our bodies are so strange!

I've actually had two ear infections since being pregnant. Suffering with one now.

I thought it was just me!

I have a cold tho'- so it might explain the itchiness.
However, I find that I have to clean my ears every week and I get huge globs of wax: almost like I haven't cleaned my ears in 6 months or more!!!
