fetal hiccups at 12 weeks?

Hi moms!!! 
Went for my 12 week ultrasound today and the baby looked like it was popping up and down ...
Looked like hiccups ? Is it possible ?

The amount of bouncing going on makes me wonder how I DON'T feel it, lol, but we all will eventually.

It feels fluttery and bouncing. Your belly will bounce when they get bigger its so adorable.

I haven't felt anything for sure, but we were watching it on the ultrasound and my partner is convinced it was hiccups making them jump.

It's possible it's the baby practicing its respiratory. The baby breathes in and out the amniotic fluid learning breathing and can get hiccups so its definitely a good thing. Good luck :)
