    hiccups???

    thanks.
    I am still unsure, it tends to happen when I sit down and after eating....it is slower than my pulse and starts in the left or right lower abdomen and today the sensation moved down towards my bottom! so perhaps it is the hiccups...there were a few kicks in between as well as I tried to discover what it was!
    Is there any way to stop the hiccups?

    I don't think you can stop them! My bubs almost always got the hiccups after I'd just eaten

    LOL, I used to love it. Made it feel like there's really a baby in there, KWIM? Natty used to get them 2-3 times a day. Then after she was born she'd have them after almost every feed too. She was a hiccuppy baby.
    It's a precious pregnancy feeling - it might annoy you, but you'll miss it once bubs is born

    My first 2 used to have hiccups all the time and this one I haven't noticed it but have had a pulsing like what you're describing. I was trying to figure out if it was hiccups but seems a bit different from what I remember. I came to the personal conclusion it's just a muscle spasm and nothing to worry about. If yours is regular and happens after certain activities, mention it to your midwife. It won't do any harm
