All of my joints are popping!

Hi Everyone!

I'm not due until the 22nd but I've noticed over the past 2 weeks that ALL of my joints are popping- like knees, elbows, hips...and sometimes it's painful. What I find weird is that my pelvic joints haven't been (that I can tell). Did anyone else have this issue? I'm worried I'm going to dislocate something...

Re: All of my joints are popping!

  • Yes, everything pops. My hips also pop, which I've never experienced before. But nothing is out of place or too painful, so I'm sure it's normal and a result of hormones making everything looser.

  • Yes my knees have been popping like crazy, especially as punishment for attempting to cross my legs....then so painful to pop back, hate it! 
  • Mine don't pop but they are in terrible pain! I'm guessing from the swelling?
  • I've been having issues with my pelvic joints for weeks.  I seemed to have tweeked one of my knees.  I am starting to wonder if that is why that foot gets more swollen than the others. 

    Late in your pregnancy your body produces this thing called relaxin to help your pelvic joints to be able to stretch some to accommodate the baby when you give birth.  It can go a little overboard in some women. 
  • So I just felt and heard a tiny popping "crack" sound down low. No fluid, so not water breaking. I think baby's joints are popping too!

  • @Jillybear82 yes, I've had some pretty intense pelvic pain over the past few weeks. It hurts to walk, get dressed, etc. The doctor seemed surprised because apparently it happens more with second time moms than first time moms, but she said the same thing. Good ol relaxin!
  • @rock1cherryI guess you and I are trend-setters then being FTM with pelvic pain. 
  • Just makes me wonder if it would
    be worse the second time around @Jillybear82 I can't imagine!
