    Smile Hearing the baby's joints click is so bizarre!!!

    I'm 34 weeks pregnant now and ALOT of the times when the baby moves I can hear that clicking sound of it's joints!! I remember hearing it at this stage with DD but not as often as she wasn't as active as this baby is!! It moves soooo much day and night and the room can be so quite and it's moving around in there having a great time and I hear it's joints click!! So bizarre yet very cool!!

    I remember reading about this last time I was pregnant. It just fascinates me that I can hear it from outside the womb and it's definitely what it is!!

    Ah.... Getting to that stage now I just want to be able to hold this little bubba!!

    Anyone else hear it too from around 32 wks....? Or is it just my babies ?

    With both my girls I had that popping and clicking sound, but my midwife said it was most likely thumb-sucking

    I don't get many pop sounds....perhaps that could be the thumb sucking? Interesting. Nup this is definite joints clicking happening!! It coincides with the baby's kicks.

    I had this with my bubba. I would hear it at least 2/3 times a day!! I think it's strange that I haven't heard any of his joints click since he has been born.

    Oh see? I'm not the only one!! Eza, it's so funny hearing things from outside the womb hey?? yeah DD never clicked after she was born LOL it was just now and then inside the womb when she'd kick me!!

    I read about it online and in a book also, it really is true that it happens, I'm not making it up!! LOL!

    youre not the only one - HERE is a thread I posted about it last pregnancy!

    Most people (including doctors, OBs, midwives) dont know what it is!

    Wow that's strange, I have thought now a couple of times that I have heard it "click" in there. I was worried he might have clicky hips, but at least it seems normal and I can relax!

    Ive had it with several of mine and i thought it was joints clicking too.

    I also used to watch my belly rise and fall in a breathing motion like lil man was breathing (no it wasnt me breathing lol, it was him moving like he was).
