There is nothing wrong with you baby, Kalen got hiccups nearly every day, sometimes three times a day. It's awful the first time you listen to them with a doppler it is like their heart is stopping. They don't find them as uncomfortable as us though so don't worry xx

Hiccups are completely normal - in fact, they are a good sign that your baby is doing well! My little one gets them about 3 times a day too, usually after I eat. Don't worry, it's normal :-)

You may keep a food diary of what you are eating. At this stage, babies can taste what you eat. It may be that something you've eaten is making him more prone. Although, hiccups are always good because it means they are practice breathing in there. So, I wouldn't be too worried.

dont be worried, that is very common and i am right there with you. my son will have hiccups for what seems like an eternity to me and then they just go away and maybe later come back at night, or i just notice them more when im TRYING to rest lol. im sure all is fine, its normal fetal development and another joy pregnancy :)
