Is it hiccups?

I am 33 weeks pregnancy and I have been feeling a pulsing sensation in my stomach lasting around 10/15 mins few times a day it always seems to be on the same side lower left. I’m not sure if this is normal or should I call my midwife? Any ideas?

sounds like hiccups to me. I still keep getting them at almost 37 weeks. However, if you're worried, then it doesn't hurt to get checked/speak to your midwife or obgyn.

Thanks Christina. I ended up giving the midwife a call and she said it can be the way the baby is lying on an artery. She said it was nothing to be concerned about. You are almost at the end how have you been feeling?xx

I'm glad your midwife managed to put your mind at ease. Apart from restricted manoeuvrability I've actually been feeling quite good lately. A bit like a walrus, but still manage to move around on land. 😂 How're things with you? xx

Yeah I was thinking to myself does this sound crazy trying to explain to the midwife but that’s what they are there for I guess. I’m the same I just feel so heavy I can’t bend down so really struggling to put my shoes on 😂 apart from that good. Just looking forward to meeting baby now xx

Shoes and socks are the worse!!! Missing the warm summer days were I was wearing sandals with velcro - so much more pregnancy friendly than shoe laces. Won't be long and I'll have to ask my partner for help as my arms seem to be shrinking in length. 🤣
Not long now for the both of us! 💕 xx

Aw they really are. Lucky you have been able to wear sandals weather run scotland isn’t the best lol so I’ve been in laces shoes the whole time but recently I have been really struggling. Hahaha your hubby will be happy about that. What your due date?xx

Here in France, they use 41 weeks for due dates, that would be the 9th November. But the lady at working at the till at Aldi's yesterday was adamant that I only have two more weeks max. 😂 What about you?xx
