Hiccups?

[Ljhunt]

I’m a bit of an anxious FTM. 29 weeks and I think I experiencing baby hiccups for the first time but would be good to check whether this is how others experience it too?

im getting little pulses (essentially the equivalent of weak kicks) every 1-1.5 seconds about 5cm above my belly button. You can see them through my clothes but probably only if you’re looking closely

i new hiccups were rhythmical but every 1-1.5 seconds just seems very frequent! Is this time interval normal?

TIA!

Yes absolutely! My DD had them all the time and even just after birth. I was so worried I called a midwife to ask if she was ok 😆 she laughed in a nice way.

Phew! Thank you. And sorry for awful spelling, pregnancy brain at the end of the day

I didn’t expect the hiccups to be quite so frequent, I guess the same way as their heart beat is higher than ours, their hiccups are much faster too!

Sounds exactly like what I get so don’t think you need to be concerned🥰 the baby has them a few times a day now!
