My little girl had them everyday too and then even after she was born. It's a very light rhythmic tapping that's pretty consistent... You just know that's hiccups!

When I was pregnant with my daughter she'd get them 2 to 4 times a day for up to 10 min at a time. I was concerned about it at the time. But since she's been born, she still gets hiccups a lot.

Normal. With my daughter she had them at least once a day for at least ten minutes at a time. With my son he's maybe had them three times so far.  I'm 28 weeks.

Mine also has them everyday sometimes 2 or more times lol i dont think its anything to worry about ive heard its from baby practicing breathing as it contracts their chest and results in hiccups. I had them with my other 2 babies and they were completely fine. Congrats and goodluck =)
