I’m 36+5 and occasionally noticing a ‘popping’ feeling/sound followed by movement from baby and when baby moves I feel like I’m going to wet myself with the pressure but nothing comes out🙈 Can’t work out if I can hear the popping noise too or just feel it.
It feels as if it’s coming from pelvic region.
My waters don’t seem to have gone - I had my second growth scan yday and all they said was that baby’s head was down.
Just wondered if anyone’s experienced anything similar?

I get this, was told when the midwife checked that its due to baby moving head down which is adding pressure.
Popping is likely digestion related or air bubbles, again due to the additional pressure and baby movements.
Biggest challenge is if I do actually need to pee when it happens, it's a hard test of my pelvic floor 😅

So, quite creepily - if everything else was ruled out. The one interesting but quite creepy thing about babies in womb is that as they stretch and move around - that popping sound might actually be their joints! Not so much fingers as with adults, but more like shoulders/hips!
I experienced that thorough late second and whole third trimester and it just never gets less creepy 🤣

I get this often, my midwife said it is the babies ligaments popping and clicking - Freaky haha! Xx

I get this- like a click at the top of my bump when he’s moving a lot. Only noticed it 3-4 times but it’s very weird!
