Popping/clicking sounds from belly

I’m just over 30 weeks this week and in the last few days, I’ve started hearing random popping/clicking sounds coming from my belly when baby moves. Doesn’t happen all the time and in fact only happens maybe once every few days. It sounds like when adults click their joints. I have no other symptoms - no pain, bleeding or anything like that. It also doesn’t hurt when I hear the popping/clicking sound. I spoke to my midwife and she doesn’t know what it is but as I don’t have any other symptoms, she’s not concerned. I did a quick google search (I know I should avoid!) and it seems like other women have had it too but no one really knows what causes it. Baby is currently breech in case that makes any difference. Anyone else experience this?

I literally read this earlier and was like 'oh, how strange', I've literally never heard about anything like this.

But I swear I just heard a click noise from bump!!! It was only quiet, and I would have missed it had i not been sat in complete silence, putting my daughter to bed!!
Not quite sure what it could be, so sorry I can't help much, but just so you know you're not alone!

yes that’s completely it! You wouldn’t notice it unless it’s quiet around you. It’s very strange isn’t it? But the midwives told me it’s nothing to worry about :) Hope everything goes well for you x

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Reduced movements

26 weeks and haven’t really felt little baby all day, she’s usually super active & I have a posterior placenta so I feel her all the time usually. I did feel her ever so briefly earlier right down into my pelvis. I was at maternity triage the other night with tummy cramps but everything was fine and so was baby. What should I do? I don’t want to feel like a nuisance?

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.
