Baby trying to get out through belly button and already a drunk! Anyone else's the same??

[Tigerlady]

HI,
My baby feels like he's trying to get out through my belly button and has hiccups at least 3 or 4 times a day - am I carrying a ready-made drunk around?? He rarely stops moving and it's so tiring and uncomfortable. The mw reckons it's a sign of a healthy baby but often he feels like a maniac scrabbling to get out!
Anyone else's baby the same?
I'm 33 weeks.

my ds constantly had hiccups around that time...they seemed to be especially bad when i was trying to get to sleep!!

ever since he was born, he gets hiccups several times a day...mw says its a way of them getting rid of wind!

i'd worry more if the baby didn't move!

oh dear...looks like youre gonna have your hands full on this little one!....my dd was like that too....on the go all the time and the midwife couldnt keep up with her to check on her heartbeat and now she is 2.5 yrs old and is a livewire - nickname by my HV and she is!!!....

Congrats on ya pg btw

Tigerlady..
If it is any consulation.. my dd moved around lots in utero.. but was very placid and still is.. my ds hardley moved in utero was luky to get 5-6 movments a day.. but he mad oup for that when he hit a year old.. still waiting for himn to calm down and he is 2yrs 8months... (Just wondering what number 3 is going to be like with having one good and one live wire.!!!)

enjoy the pregnancy..

I have to agree with biglips. My ds was very very active & hiccups almost all the time it seemed & he is a little firecracker!!! Since he was born he has been A VERY active & spirited child. Never stops still & mind always active.
This pg - 37 half wks- I've been concerned about lack of / how gentle the movements/kicks have been because i expected the same fierce movements. I expect I'm carrying a more placid child - at least i hope so just for the contrast!!!! Two firecrackers i couldn't handle!!!!
