When I feel baby having hiccups, which bit is it that I can feel? Is it baby's head or chest/diaphragm?

Just wondering about my crazy wiggler! (31weeks now)

It is the diaphragm that spasms during hiccups. However after my baby was born and she had hiccups, her whole body would jump. So not sure which bit you are feeling. It probably depends on which way round / up your baby is.

Not sure what position baby is inqnd was hoping the hiccups would give us a clue!
My baby has been stubbornly reluctant to change any position and has been ltransverse until 28wks then went breech, then I had some chiropractic treatment for sciatica and back pain, and have been stimulating acupuncture points to encourage baby to move (outside of little toe) and since then baby moves all over the place! In one day the hicuping area is in 3different places so we're just trying to work out what its doing!
Why can't preg bellys be see-through?!

My baby is head down and starting to engage, when they hiccup I feel it in the lower 1/2 of my belly. Dint know if that helps Smile
