Can babies crack their joints?

[LadyRaven]

This is probably a really stupid question but sometimes when Ryan moves I can hear and feel a little "click" sound like the snapping of joints when you crack ur knuckles or back etc. What on earth is he doing??

[BamBam]

I dunno, but I've heard it too.
Once it sounded so much like a pop I waited for the water gush, lol.

[visitor1]

Is it possibly your own joints making the noises not Ryan!!

LOL Sarah.... i keep waiting for a pop too....i have visions of a balloon popping though.....not good for the mind :P

[~Raven~]

Their joints can crack like ours. I've picked up bubs and felt and heard clicking.

[Rouge]

In that much fluid though wouldn't the sound be lessened?

[~Raven~]

Oh it would help if I read the OP properly I thought it was a newborn bub you were talking about...back in my hole now

[LadyRaven]

I'm not sure it seems to coincide with him kicking maybe hes just knocking my joints out of place. It is very faint and i can feel it in my tummy, I didn't know how else to describe it other than it sounds like he's cracking his knuckle in my tum lol. What is ACTUALLY happening though I have no clue!!

[MrsFabuloso]

I think they're joints can crack inside you. I used to hear a sound like you describe up near my ribs where her knees/legs would have been when I was heavily pg and now that she's out her knees crack alot, so I think that's what was happening inside when she moved too.

[LadyRaven]

Good to know others have heard something similar too least I know I'm not going insane lol

[ella79]

i hear those cracking noises quite regularly!! i usually notice them when i'm lying in bed at night or in the morning. i'm not moving at all and i know that the noise is DEFINITELY coming from inside my uterus!! the first few times it happened i was waiting for a gushing or trickling sensation as i thought my waters must have broken (have read somewhere that it can make a "popping" noise)...

[becky]

Yep me too!!! I definately hear those noises, when Im not moving at all and they definately came from my tummy. Im so glad you posted this, I thought I was imagining things!

[Mrschunk]

I am no help but my bub does this as well. Seems to always be towards the top of my belly where his knees are i think.

Its a strange feeling and noise though.

I always thought it was bub moving and the fluid was making the noise - like when waves slap against the edge of a pier, I thought it was fluid moving. Because it sounded similar to when I'd drunk a glass of water and then moved suddenly, and you can hear it splish in your tummy. Well. I can anyway.

[LadyRaven]

Hmm maybe it will just be an unsolved mystery for the ages lol

[Willow]

I've never heard it myself but have had two of my friends ask me about it when they were prg.

[nickers]

i never noticed it while pg but when Nixon was a baby his joints used to crack all the time. My osteo said it was quiet normal, so maybe they crack inside the womb also!

[Keira]

OMG, I remembered reading this thread ages ago thinking it was interesting and wouldn't you know it, today i have heard the clicking noise 3 times!! It's quite loud and it's just like she's cracking her knuckles inside me!!

Aaaww how cute
