Hiccups

I posted a while ago about fast fetal hiccups and how I didn't think they were hiccups.  Well, they are! My 1st never had hiccups this fast.  My doctor isn't concerned at all... anyone else experience this?

If they are tiny rhythmic movements it could be your baby practicing breathing. It's such a cool feeling. Haha.

My baby gets them at least 3 times a day and they're pretty fast, about a second apart. I told my dr. and he smiled and said "that's cute. Some women don't get to experience that. Its a good sign". As long the fetal movement continues, everything should be fine!

I felt hiccups for the first time a week or so ago at about 3 am. It was too rhythmic to be kicks. I just had to wait for them stop so I could sleep. Lol

Yes my baby girl ALWAYS has the hiccups too. The doctor says she is just testing her breathing, so I'm happy it's nothing serious! But believe me they do annoying lol
