What Causes Itchiness In The Ear During Pregnancy?
For 9 years since I was pregnant with my daughter my ears inside started itching really bad, and it started with one then the other and back and forth and now its both of them, and it gets to a point where I have to have q-tips to go into the area and relieve the itch, And just last night I noticed one of my ears were leaking fluid. What could this mean?

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
Itchiness in the ear is usually caused by infection or accumulation of fluids behind ear drum. Since you have started leaking fluid from an ear it seems you have a problem of chronic accumulation of fluid in your middle ear behind the ear drum.
Please visit an ENT specialist as soon as possible.
