My first hiccuped ALL the time, even after being born. My second almost never did. It feels like rhythmic thumping. It would wake me up with my first, even though kicking wouldn't.

My baby's been having them often as well. They say that the baby is starting to suck in amniotic fluid and that causes hiccups.

It's just a muscle spasm. They aren't sure why it happens but it doesn't hurt baby any and actually strengthens the muscle
