Baby hiccuping when doing "breech" exercises

I'm 32 weeks and baby is breech, midwife said there was plenty of time for turn but advised me to spend time (15-20 mins) on hands and knees/child's pose type position every day.
I've noticed that after a few minutes of this baby starts hiccuping. The hiccups go on for about 10-15 mins. She rarely hiccups normally. Has anyone else had this?
I know hiccups are said to be normal and healthy but I've read they can sometimes be caused by cord issues, which could also be a reason for breech position. It's stressing me out and I've stopped doing the poses but at the same time I'm keen for the baby to turn soon.

That would stress me out too. Can you speak to the mw about your concerns

Yes I will but my next appointment isn't for another 3 weeks...I could phone but don't want to bother them if it's something completely normal. It's my 1st no got nothing to compare it to...

Phone your midwife. It's what they are there for.

I've just tried to call her and left a message. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar, although I realise it's quite a specific query. Maybe it's normal for babies to hiccup when shoogled about in the womb like that?

It probably is normal but once you get a worry in your head like that it's better just to deal with it. Speak to your mw or the hospital mw and get reassurance.
