    Is this normal ligament stretching?

    When I was pregnant with DD, the last 4-6 weeks I 'Cracked' in my groin area, I just put this down to me opening up getting ready for birth. Now the only way I can describe this 'Cracking' is when your wrist/ankle/elbow kind of locks into place and you need to move it to release the pressure and even though it hurts the crack is a relief.

    Well, today in my groin area, the bones you can feel there were doing this cracking. It is not painful, just a bit of a shock to me so early.

    Is this normal? Has anyone else had this type of 'cracking'?

    It could be your pelvis moving again, things are already mostly stretched with your second so that could be why it happened earlier?

    My hip/pelvis would crack all the time in late pregnancy, and it used to hurt but feel awesome!

    If you are worried maybe ask your GP or go to a chiro?
