A few days ago I was yawning in the car and my jaw popped really loud. The whole car heard it clearly. It didnt hurt it just shocked me. The next morning my left side of my jaw right at the joint began to hurt soo badly. I cant even bite down at all. If I were to even fight through the pain and just do it I couldnt because there is like something blocking it. I am 13 weeks pregnant and I can hardly eat and the only pain reliever I can take is tylenol. Please help! What might be wrong?

It might be something called T.M.J. which will affect the jaw. Keep taking the tylenol and see your dentist!

Probably you are going to hear this a lot from everyone, but you might have a case of TMJ....Temporal Mandibular Joint dysfunction. It might have been caused because all of the joints in your body are somewhat more flexible when you're pregnant and the wide mouthed yawn might have "unhinged" that joint. Best thing to do is see your dentist.

sounds like it may be dislocated, or at least partially dislocated. call a dentist or a doc.
