28 weeks ...need help!

It feels like my baby is having seizures in my stomach and it worries me sick!  This is my first baby so I have no clue if it is normal or if I should be contacting my doctor.... it doesn't seem to have an affect on him but it doesnt seem that it could be very safe?  Any input will help

To me hiccups feel like a rhythmic movement. Every few seconds. Shaking is something I would ask the Dr about. To me that doesn't sound like my description of hiccups. Doesn't hurt to ask the Dr. Since you feel like he's fine because he's moving it could wait until you can get ahold of doc.

No problem. I have 3 other children pregnant with my 4th. You will feel a lot of strange things, hear pops every now and then with the baby moves or pushes against you ribs. That's you not the baby.

Your baby is actually getting the hiccups, totally normal and will happen quite often. Nothing to worry about calling the doc won't be necessary...
