Fetal hiccups-what's "normal"?

Okay, I'm 25+1 weeks with my second pregnancy. Around 5 days ago it seems my son started getting the the hiccups pretty often. . Let's say 6-8 times a day. It kind of makes me feel bad lol. If they last too long you can tell he gets annoyed and sometimes it doesn't really bother him.. well i guess my question is.. is that okay for him to have the hiccups so many times a day?

That's good to know. I like my drinks really cold too, but the other day i started chewing gum and he got hiccups and when i roll to the other side in my sleep he'll get hiccups haha it's kind of funny. My husband said it's because he's gonna have a lot of hair. I was like oh yeah? What makes you think hiccups have to do with hair and he just said that he knows because he's dad lol.
