Hiccups

[Sammiejane]

Molly Jane got the hiccups about 3-4 times a day through the pg and this has continued on the outside! its all normal, and i am pretty sure that it is caused by them swallowing fluid - which is them practicing feeding.

juleswa - for me it felt like continuous but evenly spaced movements - like a soft kick, but in time. i usually felt them stronger than what could be felt on the outside and they were lower (when she was head down) as it was her chest moving. Sometimes i would get a kick or a punch if they were going on for a while.

I actually miss them when she has them now!

My DD got them 2-3 times in my belly and at first i thought it was just constant kicking but realised they were hiccups later on.

She gets them now at the same time (3 weeks old). Very cute in the belly but not so cute when she gets them now because she cant sleep.

I think they feel like a really strong heart beat... they feel pretty rapid at times... sometimes really slow..

When I was pregnant with Madeleine, she got the hiccups about 3-4 times in one day sometimes!!

Jules: Taurusa is right, they feel like a tap and you mght mistake them for a little kick or punch until you realise they are coming in regular intervals.

My DD used to get them every night when I got into bed... kept me awake LOL
I just loved (& still do) hearing/seeing her with the hiccups after she was born, its kinda like a little bond I suppose you could describe it... anyway, because it was between her & I every night it feels a bit special to me

Madeleine still get hiccups and it's funny to watch them now, because it reminds me of when she was inside the womb and getting them all the time!
