What do baby hiccups feel like?

I'm 30 weeks with an anterior placenta so movement isn't quite as strong but I'm currently laid down with a rhythmic blip in my belly; is this hiccups? I haven't really noticed before but I know it could've happened a lot earlier on.

Sounds like hiccups to me :)

Strange rythmic bumping inside your stomach... one of the few things I miss about pregnancy :o

That does sound like hiccups, rather than a kick in a specific area it feels like your whole bump does a little jump (sorry I won't win any awards for descriptive writing will I!!)

To me it feels like a bump low in the pelvis and towards the back, almost in my bum! And it's very regular.

I started feeling hiccups around 30 weeks so I reckon that's it! Grin

a weird internal tapping. happened a lot. didn't really like it!

Oh I remember this well Smile for me it felt like a tapping feeling from inside low down!! My MW said if you get them a lot in later pg then they will hiccup a lot as babies and it was true!!

I'm nearly 34 weeks and have anterior placenta. Babys hiccups almost feel like a pulsating feeling happening deep down and almost in my bowels. Yes I know it sounds strange but only way I can describe it!

I get really rapid vibrations, it surprises me how fast and juddery the sensations are Smile

It does sound like hiccups. My baby gets them every night just after I go to bed and it lasts about half an hour....no way I can drop off with that funny feeling going on! Cute though.

They feel exactly like you'd imagine them to. No mistaking it.
