Fetal hiccups

Yes perfectly normal the baby is just practicing swallowing 😊

do you experience them every day? Xx

Yeah mine will have them up to 3 times a day lol.

yes sometimes more then once in a day so please don’t worry 😊 my now three year old had them all the time when I was pregnant and still gets them now if we make him hysterically laugh 😂

so cute

thank you xxx

I asked my midwife about this as I feel them lots (3 times + some days) and I worried that it was too much. My midwife said it’s perfectly normal and not to worry at all! I’m 34+3😊

Sometimes mine would be twice a day and a few days in a row, sometimes it doesn’t hiccup at all!

Yes they are ok

My baby gets them so often too! Starting from about 32 weeks as well. Midwife said perfectly normal they are practicing breathing. She said they could also just be bored as well haha!

I had this with my first, felt it all the time. She’s now nearly 3 and has always hiccuped when she’s tired

Very normal. My Bub had them every day up until birth. Sometimes a couple of times a day.

My little boy gets them at least once a day too 💙

Should I be worried that my baby has never had them? I’m 33+3?

no , you may just not feel it , if you have any worries tell your midwife 😊

I get them everyday once or twice I’m 35 weeks xx

Yes! I find that they come when she's had a bout of wriggling. I think it's when they swallow a bit too much amniotic fluid? Although who knows what they get up to in there 😂 I feel so bad for her as she hiccups for such a long time haha

My little babe gets them about 5 times a day

Happens around 4-5 times a day for me 😂

I’m feeling mine might be bored too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t think so lovely… no one on my NCT had felt any it was just me xx

How do you know it’s hiccups you’re feeling? I feel lots of movements but not sure if I feel hiccups. I’m 32weeks now

I feel her move and it pulses- there’s rhythm to them xx

U just put on ur hand on the side of ur belly where it goes up and down and u need to feel the sound. Normally when the head is down u feel it below ur belly

It's a really regular pulse, almost feels like a slow heartbeat. It'll probably feel like a flutter or short movement at first then you'll notice them being regular

omg this is so cute!!!
