I know this sounds weird, but has anyone else experienced their joints continously popping in and out of place? I had my baby 9 months ago, but when I lay down (or change positions while laying down) my hips, back, even ankles pop. Its weird. Just wanted to see if anyone knows what causes this?
Hi P.,
Try going to a chiropractor. I see one regularly and it really seems to help.
Hi P.,
I had the same experience of popping joints. It was so weird! It seemed to be hormonal, because I would get the clicking and popping in my back and hips right around my period. It went on for years but has diminish over time. It seemed to lessen when I started a consistent exercise program with aerobics, stretching and light weightlifting.
I'm not an expert by far, but I'd learned that our bodies, while pregnant, do produce a hormone that helps loosen our joints and ligaments, so that the baby can pass through the pelvic region. Maybe it's leftover hormones. :o/ There's just something about having babies that changes everything (inside and out!), but they're soooo worth it!
My kids are teens, now, and I no longer have the clicking and popping - just the aches and pains of being a bit older! :o)
Blessings to you.

Hi P., I think that is normal during and after pregnancy. Your joints get very loose during pregnancy and I think it takes a while to go back to normal. A chiropractor can help during that time. My Ob helped align me while I was pregnant and it helped SO much.
I had a lot of trouble with my joints, my hips in particular after my child was born. The only thing that helped and then seemed to fix the problem was doing yoga!
