Cracking joints

[Fruitloops34]

Hi all,

No, not that kind of joint lol.

I’m 7+3 weeks and I’ve found that my hips, knees, elbows, jaw, basically anything that has a joint is cracking and popping way more than it used to.

Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Appreciate any help.

Ligaments loosen in pregnancy. It's caused by a hormone called relaxin. It also makes you more susceptible to injury, hence the no heavy lifting rule.

@physicskate thanks, that sort of makes sense as it seems to be my hips that at cracking the most, they also get sore if they don’t crack.

Every day is a school day.
