Hiccups question - baby not me!

If I'm feeling the hiccups high up to the left of my bump does that mean the head is there (can feel a hard lump) or does the whole body jump with the hiccups? 33 weeks so plenty of time for baby to move - has been sideways since 28 weeks though.

From what I've read, you feel the hiccups down low if baby is head down, so it would make sense that baby's head would be where you are feeling them. :)

I think heff is right. I'm 36 weeks and baby's head is 3/5 engaged and I feel hiccups 'down there' now its v strange

Just a little one for you to enjoy: during labour DS and I both had hiccups. They were worse than the contractions. While I was pushing him out, he was hiccuping in my cervix! They were definitely felt where his head was, I could tell as it moved down. It was very strange!

I feel hiccups all over- definitely down near cervix/ bum but also at top of bump where my baby's butt is. Mine does move all of his/ her little body when hiccuping. ;40+3 and head has been down for last month.
