Headaches. From jaw dislocation or pregnancy?


Ok basically 7 - 8 months ago I dislocated my jaw. (dont ask) But i heard it crack and the next day or so it wouldnt shut properly. eventually it did but ever since the right hand side cant shut without sliding to the side....
I can still eat and stuff but its really annoying and I often now move my jaw around gettig it comfortable.. after so long I think I may need surgery (?) but never seen a doc about it yet havent got around to it.

Well I am also 3 months pregnant, and ive started getting headeaches the past few days. Im wanting to know are they from the jaw problem or because im pregnant.
Would the jaw problem get worse all of a sudden or not likely since its been like this for like half a year?

Yeah just any insight, thanks

When you become pregnant your entire body changes, hormones, chemical, everything. Particularly in this case, blood flow increases because of the nutrients being transferred to the baby through the placenta. However, this also increases blood flow to evey part of your body, including your jaw and head. So one could definitely be tied to the other. I think for the sake of your own health and thus your baby's, it's time to get that jaw checked out :)
