Hiccups

[ploopypleepy]

How often does your baby get hiccups? I read that after 32 weeks they aren't usually as frequent, but I'm 35 weeks and she has them at least 3 times per day. Anyone else the same ?

Yes, one of my DS is a toddler now and had them all the time up until his birth! He has food allergies and we had a heck of a time with reflux when he was a baby - not sure if they are linked, thinking about it. He hiccups still now but a normal amount

Thanks for replying. That's really interesting about the reflux, did you breastfeed or formula feed?

I’m 40 weeks today and baby still getting hiccups. I wondered the same.
I actually always thought the hiccups were kicks until a few weeks ago I’ve realised it’s hiccups 😂
but I have been getting them around twice a day still.

I asked at my appt about hiccups 2 or 3 times a day (34/35 weeks) as I had read same thing. Obstetrician said it was completely fine.

I had them so bad during my pregnancy. Every day. Multiple times a day. Multiple times an hour even. I also has terrible heart burn. All
stopped as soon as she arrived !

my baby used to hiccup in the womb (birthed her at 34 weeks) and when she was a baby atleast 3-5 times a day. She didn’t suffer from bad reflux (just a small amount)

it just got annoying after a while but also reassured me she was ok!

That’s funny- I also had terrible heartburn so perhaps that’s why?

When pregnant with my, now 14 yr old dd, I remember her having hiccups all the time, especially in the evening

DS had hiccups all the time!
Never had reflux issues luckily.

I remember googling the hiccups and found some horrors on google! I asked my midwife and she said it's completely fine and completely normal and don't listen to google 🤣.

I'm currently 39 weeks and mine still has them around 3 times a day as well (sometimes more, sometimes less). I mentioned it to my midwife around 34 weeks after worrying myself after reading google. She assured me it was perfectly normal and I should only be concerned if his movements/behaviour changes.

My now toddler used to hiccup like clockwork in utero at the same time every day....and for a good few months after birth at the same time too! Could set my watch by it 😂 I found it weirdly reassuring during pregnancy and actually missed it after giving birth!

When I was pregnant with my DD she had hiccups multiple times a day until birth, I used to read things online and get very paranoid but she was absolutely perfect! She’s 2 now and still gets hiccups daily 😊.
Gosh I remember her keeping me up many a night with her having hiccups! I remember mentioning something to my midwife and got a very strange look, suggesting it’s more than fine xx

DD had constant hiccups
No reflux when she was born! But she did have allergies

My baby had hiccups so much right to the end of pregnancy. She's 6 weeks now and still a very hiccupy baby!

Another one here with a very hiccupy in utero baby. She went on to be a very hiccupy baby on the outside too. She's 3 now, and grew out of it once she was walking.
