I know its a bizare thing to worry about but Im 28 weeks pregnant and my baby (who is moving wonderfully) is not hickuping!At first I found it funny that she is so different from my firs daughter but now Im getting a bit concerned..Whoever I ask; did your baby hick up?, they say yes...hmmmm...

My baby didn't start hiccoughing regularly until a few weeks ago & I'm 38+5 now. Now he does it multiple times a day & it drives me mad - enjoy the peace before it starts

So long as you can feel her moving, you've got nothing to worry about

I'm not the only one that spells it properly. You've made my week SpringySponge I did get some funny comments from DP the other day.

Aww, I didn't mean to be pedantic. I actually think the 'p' spelling is much more acceptable now.

My baby's not hiccoughing yet, at 21 weeks. I don't know if I'm looking forward to it or not, it's soooo strange.

I know, I feel silly to worry about it but you know how it is; thats what you do..worry about little ones..
Checked the spelling and came out with hiccouping..

Have never identified any baby hiccoughing with any certainty in any of my 3 pregnancies. Don't know if I'm a bit remedial at noticing baby movements, baby doesn't do it or it does it in a way I can't feel.

Would happily swap hiccups (sorry I prefer this spelling, pedants) for the sudden stealth bladder attacks. At least, I'm guessing they can't be worse

I'm 37+1 and only started noticing hiccups a couple of weeks ago. It's possible it happened before and i just didnt recognise it though!
