Is it normal to keep feeling pulse in belly 34 weeks

So I’ve noticed I keep feeling a pulse in my stomach which I think may be hiccups but it happens everyday and normally it’s more than once a day , I’m 34 weeks and 4 days and I read something on the internet about how you don’t normally feel hiccups after 32 weeks and that it could indicate a problem with the cord. I’m also waiting for a growth scan as well as her grows dropped so I’m wondering should I be worried ?

After reading your title I was coming here to say probably hiccups. Im 38 weeks and baby has hiccups everyday. It happened while I was in the hospital last week on a trace and the midwife said it’s completely fine

I’m 32 weeks and feel baby hiccups multiple times a day!

It's just hiccups and it's perfectly normal to feel them multiple times a day up until you deliver

It's hiccups :) the cord thing is bollocks. I asked my doctor about it and she said it's good when they get hiccups and means they're practicing how to breathe. There's no such thing as too often.

I've defo felt them past 32 weeks with all three babies.

I started having this feeling right after 31 weeks and felt baby jump with each pulsation. It’s probably hiccups, totally normal. Was freaked out by the cord stuff but this scientific article has been so reassuring which states that a daily perception of hiccups is associated with a reduced risk of stillbirth. Just keep a lookout for usual pattern of baby movements, as long as those are still taking place then everything should be fine :) www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-46323-4
