baby & hikups

My baby gets hick ups a lot a couple of times a day I wonder if that's OK since it gets painful for any grown person after having them for a while ... What should I avoid or do to help him out I'm 37 weeks almost there .

This is very normal for babies and most likely doesn't cause the any discomfort.  Talk to your doctor about it but it's a natural occurrence with babies in utero.  Nothing you can do to avoid it as it involves the amniotic fluid.  It is not dangerous and almost every expectant mom will experience them with their baby.  good luck
