Jaw pain while pregnant

Anonymous
Has anyone experienced jaw pain during their pregnancy?

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have the worst jaw pain whenever I bite down.

You might be grinding your teeth at night (you may not even realize it) in which case it is independent of whether or not you're pregnant.

It happened to me. I avoided hard foods and it eventually went away.

Nutty as it sounds, sometimes clogged/congested sinuses can cause jaw pain. I've had my teeth and jaws ache terribly, thought I had a horrible dental problem, and was told, nope, just sinus pressure. It's allergy season, and pregnant women get weird sinus congestion anyhow, so this could also cause your jaw pain.
