strange "popping"

[laurabe]

I woke in the night to pee and when I was laying in bed trying to get back to sleep I felt this "pop" in my vagina. No pain or discharge but was very weird.

I'm 18 weeks. Anyone else experienced this?

are you sure its not kicking? I get kicks there ALL the time! I sometimes think I'm gonna see a foot come out lol. It very much feels like a 'pop' and feels very strange. Now I'm 25 weeks I still get it but stronger, so now it feels more like a stomp!!

I'm not sure cos I haven't even felt any movement yet. I'm expecting movement soon anyway so maybe this was my first experience of it

 

[kris85]

sounds an awful lot like kicks to me and they do start off quite low, so would make sense!

How exciting! That does sound like movement once movement becomes evident, you'll probably realize the popping was your baby all along!

Yes it's cervix kicks. They start of like that and then get stronger from there. I find it a little uncomfy when she does it but luckily she's head down so I feel lighter punches now lol.

 

[laurabe]

Thanks ladies I'm well pleased at these responses! Been waiting ages to feel a bit of movement

 

[Gizzyy]

It's so exciting isn't it!? I have anterior placenta so didn't feel bubs until almost 20 weeks. The movements were low down at first

If I can feel more movement it will make the wait for my next scan more bearable lol.

 

[Gizzyy]

Yes it's a daunting time when you don't have many symptoms and you can't feel baby yet. (My Doppler helped reassure me alot at the beginning) good luck at your scan

I didn't buy a doppler out of fear of not hearing anything. I'm still thinking about it though

I didn't get mine til around 15 weeks. As I knew I had my placenta in the front and was so scared I would only hear the whooshing of the placenta but heard baby's HB no problem. Only had one time where I couldn't find it but it was only because baby had moved from her usual place. Mine is just the Angelsounds one, I got it on a deal. It's cheaper than most but works just as well.

If you're starting to feel little pokes it may not be worth getting one, however I did use mine when baby had her 'quiet days' just for a bit of reassurance and she would soon start up kicking again
