This is going to sound weird but suddenly every small sound feels too loud to me. TV, fan, even my husband talking normally. Im 2nd trimester. Is this a pregnancy thing or just me being extra? anyone else felt this?
Yes, dear, pregnancy hormones can affect your nasal passages and ears, leading to sensitive hearing or even a blocked ear feeling. Don't worry, just try using earplugs if it bothers you too much.
It can feel very overwhelming when your body changes like this. Just try to stay in quiet environments if loud noises stress you out, and always mention these changes to your doctor during your checkups.
Oh absolutely! I could literally hear my husband opening a packet of chips from the other room and immediately wanted some. Hormones make all your senses go super wild!
Yes, my pregnancy tracker app actually mentioned this! Estrogen changes can affect your ears and make you super sensitive to loud noises. It usually goes back to normal after delivery.
Yes, it is very common! My hearing became so sharp, even the ticking clock would annoy me. It is just your body's way of protecting you and it completely goes away after your normal delivery.
It is just a weird hormonal side effect. Don't worry about it and don't waste money going to an ENT specialist unless your gynac tells you it is necessary. Save that money for baby shopping!
