FTM Question Hips/Pelvis popping?

GeekMom · January 2012

When I wake up to roll over from side to side, my hips/pelvis seem to pop. Does this mean anything? Normal?

I'm a FTM too, but this happens to me quite often. I really didn't think anything of it. Except sometimes I am more comfortable after they pop.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to happen or not, but it happened to me every single time I sat up or got out of bed.

Yeah, it mostly comes with the Relaxin in your system. And the relaxin takes a while to cycle out, so you'll continue to pop for up to a month after birth! While everything returns to it's previous shape

Oh fun! Sounds like a blast! Stick out tongue

Thanks ladies! Just wanted to make sure it was a good thing!

I haven't experienced this (yet) but figured it had to do with Relaxin!

Yes, this is normal and OK. Your joints are getting ready for delivery.

my back did that this morning down in my hips. I held my breath for a moment b/c I was worried it was my water breaking! lol

It's normal. It happens to me too. My midwife suggested I see a chiropractor to help relieve any discomfort that it's been causing me, maybe that would be something you want to look into?

Same here, it happens at least twice a night when I roll over or get up to pee... just things loosening up.

Yup, every time I get out of bed to pee my hips pop. My hips are usually pretty sore, and the popping feels awesome, so I don't mind.

I'm a pretty poppy-cracky type of jointed person anyways. My feet always crackle first thing in the morning, so I guess I never thought anything of it

GeekMom · January 2012

Thanks ladies! Now that you mention the relaxin, i do notice all my other joints popping more frequently!

Yep, perfectly normal. Lucky for those who have never experienced this. My pelvic joint has been cracking for many, many weeks. It doesn't really hurt though, more just unusual because this isn't a joint that you are used to having move.
