Q: Pregnant With Tmd/tmj (i Think)

I've never had any jaw problems in my life and I do not consider myself to be the sort of person prone to stress. In fact, i've gotten the complaint that i'm maybe too laid-back about things. I am 34 weeks pregnant and for the past month or so i've had this jaw problem that I think is probably tmd/tmj. If I sleep for any length of time on my right side I wake up with very limited jaw movement. When I move my jaw the little bit that it can it is extremely uncomfortable and makes clicking/popping noise. I have discovered that if I wake up early enough with this problem and I sleep or lay on my left side for a while then it eases up. I must do this or I can't eat breakfast. Is this jaw problem related to my pregnancy? Will it go away after I have the baby? I want to be able to sleep properly on my right side again! Help!
