Had my baby got the hiccups in my bell?

OK, am 34 weeks with DC2 but it's been such a long time between DCs, I seem to remember that a rythmic thump, thump (bit like a heart beat) is the baby having hiccups. Does this ring true with anyone?

I remember that DC1 had hiccups really frequently in the final trimester but I'm just not sure if I remember what it felt like.

Yes! It's like being poked by a mouse with a stick from the inside. Baby hiccups so cute. Congrats!

Yes! It's so cute. I recognised his hiccups when he came out :-)

My hiccupper is nearly 4 and still gets them if she laughs a lot!

TheRealGabster · 03/04/2014 20:57

Thanks guys. Can't believe you recognised them meringue!! :-) Yes, it is quite sweet isn't it.

The midwife told me that hiccups were the sign of a healthy baby. Don't know if that's another one of those made up things!

Dd1 was a hiccuper. My belly used to move with it. I couldn't feel her moving weirdly, but she had hiccups every day, so knew she was fine.

I had this both times, especially at night x

kiwiscantfly · 04/04/2014 05:32

I'd forgotten all about hiccups! DD now 3 had them all the time, and still does! This time I'm 33 weeks and haven't had them as of yet, they were fun too!

Kefybaby · 04/04/2014 14:05

It was both my babies' hobby when they were "in". So cute!

wightjellybaby · 04/04/2014 14:19

I was told it means baby is breathing which is a very good thing obviously! !

ArtFine · 04/04/2014 14:31

My was a serial hiccuper in tummy and after and had awful silent reflux. I hope that's not the case for you x

DD used to hiccup if I was sitting quietly in a boring meeting, I loved it, it was a good distraction. Some days she got them 4 or 5 times. She didn't hiccup half so much after she was born though - and didn't suffer reflux at all.

Nades84 · 04/04/2014 15:41

I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and my baby is getting them all the time, I love sitting watching my belly jump up and down, it's so cute
