I haven't a clue what it is, please tell me someone else hears it too!

Its like when baby moves alot, and pokes out, thers this click, like a bone cracking, but not quite the same

Firt time I heard it I thought my waters had popped! lol

Happens quite often. (am 34+3)

Hmm not too sure but think I vaguely remember having this, although was when me and DP were up to stuff and turned out to be fluid swishing Made me cringe no nookie after that for a fair while

Never really found an explanation but it is quite common I think.

My midwife had never heard of it and (I think) thought I was maiing it up until one appointment when she heard it herself!

Ahhh thanks!!

It really is loud and sounds so strange, i really did think my waters had gone first time it happened!

am 99% sure i never had it with my other 2!

Wonder what it is!!

I had this with my recent pregnancy. I think it is the amniotic fluid moving around. It sounded like a creaky hinge sometimes and at others a definate popping noise.

OOh i know what it sounds like!

You know when you get those glow sticks that you keep in the fridge then crack them in half to make them glow!! its that!

Baby is obviously having a rave in there

CrushWithEyeliner · 17/11/2008 20:19

PeppermintPatty · 17/11/2008 23:06

My sister had this with her DD2. She never did find out what it was.

ranirani · 17/11/2008 23:17

i have it as well!!!! HI there Enchanted!!
I am new to all this, thios is my first PG. I thought it is hiccuping... is it not? then how hiccuping should sound like?
I have these clicking sounds in my upper half under the rib cage in the middle somewhere. It started couple of days ago. I am 28 weeks PG this Fri.

Ive got this too and read on another forum that its the baby's hip clicking and is caused by the pregnancy hormone relaxin's effect on the baby, more common in girls and in babies that spend some time in breach position.

It was seriously freaking me out til I read the above
