what is that popping sound?

[1+1=5]

that I'm hearing from my bubs? I have heard and felt a couple of pops over the past week (I'm almost 40 weeks). once i was in bed and turned over and 3 loud pops came from my belly. i thought it was my waters breaking as they came one after another but no waters...

anyone know what it is? I don't just hear it, I can feel it so its a descent pop. my initial reaction was bubs doing a great big fart :laughing::o

Lol @ fart

Could it be your lower back adjusting as bubs moves down? (your already going to see a physio aren't you? maybe ask them?)

I had this with dd at 38 weeks and freaked!!! I talked to my ob and she said it was prob bub moving down and grinding head against pelvis. Sure enough she examined me and bub was well engaged. Gross sound!!

the sound and feel comes from the top of my belly and bubs is no where near engaged, he is still floating about, enjoying himself :rolleyes:

Oh well no idea? Maybe you should google it or check with it dr. Hopefully someone else comes on and knows.

Reading your title, I would have assumed it was your waters too (that's what I heard when mine broke). I've never heard it for any other reason. Interesting to think they can make that sound :laughing:

Hiccups??? DS2 had major hiccups in the last few weeks and it was a definite popping sound!
So bizarre!

I get hickups A LOT and i always feel it down bellow :o. maybe its my hind waters? I don't know. I have been getting gradual leaking to a degree where i wear a pad all day now but its not much at all....i figured becasue bubs is not engaged, the leackage would be heavier so it couldn't be my hind waters? :confused:

I might try google again

You know when you crack your knuckles lets say, is the popping the same as that? If it is its the babies joints releasing the gas that gets trapped.

ooh i had that with DS2, more like a flicking sound? like when you flick your nails?

this is like a serious pop, like something breaking or snapping. hmmm maybe i should just put it down to weird pregnancy stuff. :confused:

Hmm, I heard my water 'pop' and went the hospital that night. Test showed it was my waters. I had her 5 days later and had gradual leaking the whole time. Maybe it is? I was put on antibiotics to stave off an infection, you might want to consider getting it checked if you feel it might be. I had to be induced in the end but I was having contractions for days too.

thanks for your reply, i'm seeing my middy on Monday (I'm having a home birth) so i might ask her then...or even text her and see what she thinks.

I get the sound thats like knuckles cracking - usually accompanied by sharp movements... but not so much a popping sound. how weird. Are you sure it's not just the joints clicking but on a louder scale?:detective:

[1+1=5]

lol...it felt like something burst, like 3 big bubbles bursting becasue i really felt it as much as i heard it. the clicking ones i could hear but not feel.

at the risk of jinxing it, i have been getting some really strong tightening/BH constantly and all day so maybe something will happen in the next couple of days. i might go to bed incase it does develop into something and i will have yet another labour with no sleep! i'm sitting here in quite a bit of pain so thank you for the replies, it may infact have been my hind waters poping, i don't know.

night all :sleeping:

I have had some popping noises, like seriously loud ones and ob and midwife both said it was ligaments stretching and shifting. Could be the same thing for you, fingers crossed bubs on it's way though. Gl! :)
