Decrease in fetal hiccups?

Hello everybody..
I've noticed decrease in my baby's hiccups (+increase in the movements overall)
She has been having regular daily ones since 28 weeks,4+ times a day,each lasting 15-20 min but lately i've noticed that she gets them once per day.

Is it something that i need to bring up to my doctor or it's just normal?
I'm 36 weeks 3 days.
I was told that those are considered breathing movements,so i thought their decrease might signalize something?
Thanks :)

Oh and my last baby, the one who almost never got the hiccups in utero....he's now almost 18 months and he's had the hiccups ONCE that I can remember since he was born. I think some babies/kids are just more prone to them than others.

Hiccups are not indicivitave of anything wrong in my experience.  I have had 5 full term pregnancies and each one was completely different as far as hiccups go.  My last one got hiccups maybe twice the whole time I Was pregnant.  The baby does make breathing motions but those are seperate from the hiccups as far as I know. As long as baby is moving I think everything is fine.  It could just be that baby is gearing up to make his/her enterance in the next couple of weeks.
