i know this sounds weird, but i keep hearing clicking noises from my bump, mostly when the baby moves. been noticing this for a few weeks but now i'm nearly due i hear them a lot more. am i going insane or is this common?

I remember this! People said to me it must be hiccups, but I knew it wasn't as that felt completely different! I think I came to the conculsion that it was just fluid sloshing around.

I have noticed sometimes, when I get a really good hard kick it makes a noise but I'm not sure if its clicking.

I had this too! I think it's just tendons clicking - you know, how some people's knees or ankles click sometimes. I'm pretty sure it came from dd's ankle in my case, seemed to happen when she pushed her foot out.

I had this too and a kind of popping noise. GP and Midwife thought I was going mad ! So did DH until he heard it too one day! My DD is 5 weeks old today and is fine so it didn't do her any harm.

i have this too. i had it with ds who is 9 soon but not with dd who is 6. i am having a ds, maybe its just the boys.
i think its the fluid sloshing rather than legs clicking.

Ive noticed this also. I thought it sounded the same as if you shake a hot water bottle about and just guessed that it was the sound of the water inside where the baby had kicked really hard.
