36 wks Popping feeling/sound

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!

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
