Hi. I'm 27 almost 28 weeks pregnant. These past few days I've noticed an increase in my babies hiccups. He gets them 3 or four times a day now. He's had them 3 times today and at one point they lasted for 10 mins. I've read that hiccups that occur 3 to 4 times a day and last longer than 10 mins could be a sign that something is wrong such as a knot in the cord, the cord around his neck, cord compression and other things which can lead to stillbirth. I am so insanley worried. I called my doctor but haven't heard back. Does anyone else experience excessive hiccups or have experienced it with their babies?

My son had hiccups a lot and he was just fine.

I'm 35 weeks and my baby gets hiccups all the time. Multiple times a day like at least 5 times. I asked my midwife about it and she said its normal and some babies gets the hiccups a lot. The hiccups have slowed down the past couple of weeks but are still frequent.
