My baby gets hiccups quite a bit too. My community midwife said it is perfectly normal and said it just means they will get them alot when they are born. When I was being monitored in hospital recently the baby had hiccups again and the nurses and midwife just laughed and said it must have enjoyed what I had just eaten. They were not concerned at all. I had read somewhere that it is diaphragm practice for breathing. Also one site I saw said you can count it as a kick or movement if you are counting or recording movements.
