Baby tapping in one spot for a long while

[Ella17393]

Hi Ladies,

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this, i'm 6 months and can feel the baby move a lot. However sometimes i notice it feels like tapping or a strong hearbeat just on one spot and this continues for about 10-15 minutes before it stops. Even if i move around they continue in the same spot and come every two seconds. Could this be hiccups or something else? I'm worried the baby might be distressed.

Hiccups! 🥰

Yep hiccups!

Defo hiccups. Funny isn't it

Yup....baby hiccups! I'm on my fourth pregnancy and it still amazes me

Thank you! I was starting to stress over it, i'm relieved to know its normal haha

Normal and so utterly utterly cute....

God I remember feeling that way I was so scared like yourself I called my midwife and she said hiccups my boy done it every day 3 times a day at least ! He would do it a while after I had any dairy I didn’t think any thing of it then when he came out he would hiccup really hard for ages after his bottle turns out he had a really strong intolerance to dairy and soya ! Still does and he’s 2 but most baby’s don’t hiccup for that reason so don’t worry about that ! Just though I’d share my story xx

I was on monitoring last week and it was a nice heart beat which then was over took by the loudest constant tapping noise which turned out to be hiccups the other ladies in DAU were laughing.

@Babyjune21@emma911030 thank you both for sharing your experiences, it’s just what I needed to hear. I now look forward to when it happens because I’m not sat worrying about it so appreciate every little hiccup

Yep sounds like hiccups, my son always used to have them in the same spot, used to drive me mad
