I've heard this, too. I'm 35wks and just the other day i had my hand on my belly and when the baby kicked it pretty hard it sounded just like someone cracking a knuckle. Must've just been his ankle or something, but it sure startled me!

I've been hearing the popping noises too and I've heard that it could just be because the baby is running out of room and getting bigger so when they move sometimes their bones pop.

Your ligaments are looser when you are pregnant so things pop and crackle way more. I get it all over. My midwife says it's totally normal.

Are his joints supposed to click? She ever tell you why they are clicking?

Haha I used to be so freaked out when I'd hear it! Nobody else seemed to hear it but me so I asked my doctor and she said it's most likely the baby's joints "clicking".
