Fetal hiccups? (x-posted)

[diannescruffy]

My last baby had hiccups all the time. Initially I didn't know what it was until my midwife told me and it is perfectly fine. When she was born she would get them often too. All the best with your pregnancy and to BB.

I had this with both babies all the time. There is a chance that it could be because the cord is around the neck but this is very rare. Request a scan if it will make you feel better but it is very normal for baby to hiccup. You will feel less kicking now as baby has less space to move around. Don't worry, stressing about everything comes with motherhood!

Hi GirlMTL
Your baby is fine. Some babies do have lots of hiccups and although your baby seems to be having more than most I would not be concerned about it. I would still mention it to your midwife at your next visit.
The heart beat should be between 110 and 160. It will be closer to 110 when your baby is resting and closer to 160 when your baby is active.
Not all babies kick all of the time; as long as you are feeling frequent movements then everything is fine

I saw my doctor.He didn't seem concern at all about the frequent hiccups.He said it's actually a breathing movements,but from what i saw on the net,it's a hiccups,but anyway.He said there is no reason for another scan... I did have a NST and he said the baby's in super shape.
I guess if there was any problem with the cord,the NST will show ? right?Im still freaking out about the frequent hiccups thing.Now they last bit longer and she gets them 5 times a day.She does move a lot,but still..Im worried that she's having some kind of cord issue..
Oh,well..
Thanks for replays.

Hi GirlMTL

to BB.

Pregnancy can be a scary and worrying time because there is always the possibility that something will go wrong, but there is also a much much greater chance that everything will go fine and you will deliver a healthy baby especially since everything is looking good with your test results.

All my babies have had hiccups - sometimes 5 times a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. It is really nothing to be concerned about. I think more than anything it can just get a bit irritating (especially when you are trying to sleep). All my babies were born completely healthy with no cord issues. Hiccups are more to do with muscle development of the digestive system anyway (or so I thought).

Enjoy your baby's hiccups. At least you can feel her moving and know that she is okay. You must be nearly 31 weeks by now ... woohoo! Not long to go! You'll be holding your beautiful baby before you know it. Good luck with everything.
