Hiccups

[MummyDuck]

I saw a thread about this a little while ago but I can't seem to find it again.

How often is normal and how much is too often to be getting the hiccups?? Now that I can finally feel them she has them an aweful lot. I am not really worried by them, I was just wondering thats all.

PS This question was on behalf of my DP, I should get him to get his own account!!!

Hi,
During my last pregnancy my bubs seemed to have the hiccups constantly. At first I didn't know what it was. It felt like a pulsation feeling until my midwife told me what it was. Isabella is nearly 6mnths now and she still gets the hiccups often.
Regards,
Dianne

My first DS used to get the hiccups constantly when I was pg with him! He used to always get them when I got into bed at night too . He also got the hiccups heaps when he was born. All very normal!

Hey there,

my little man gets them about once a day and they last about 5 minutes. some days twice or three times a day and now and again he doesnt get them at all, but on average I'd say once a day

DS use to get them at least 3 times a day when in my belly.. lasted around 5-10 minutes i guess. He would then get them a bit when he was born, but hardly ever does now.
Its very normal, and just shows theyre practising their swallowing etc.. all a good thing.

I'm averaging two or three times a day so I feel a bit better now and will let DP know.

Dianne - It is a weird feeling isn't it. DP only asked if it was normal the other day when you could actually feel her hiccuping through my belly, she must have been in a nice posi that day.
