I hate the Internet

I was googling how to tell when your baby has hiccups because I still can't tell at 28 weeks. Well I never found the answer because someone posted that if the baby gets hiccups too often it can mean the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck. So then I started googling about how you'd recognise that and the amount of women posting such tragic stories about losing their child because of tangled cords has petrified me.

All I wanted to know was how to recognise when your baby has hiccups! Now even if I do recognise it I'm going to be scared of tangled cords.


Thanks Google :(

It's a rhythmic hitting on your insides. It can actually be quite annoying! Lol my baby didn't start getting them or I didn't start feeling her have the hiccups until about 31 weeks

lol well start listening!! haha -- these ladies on here have helped me a lot.. I know there are some tough critics on here, but I've been blessed with some amazing women/mommies on here & the BEST advice I've gotten was to stay off google for anything like that..

only worry if you have a serious concern, and IF you ever do.. your OB or the ER if needed is your best option. just don't sit around & worry! (((:

@shinieshoes I agree lol I even deleted the google app off my phone but I just started loading my browser!

Haha @octobermommy all I've heard for the past 24 weeks is "stay off bloody google danielle!!"

Thanks guys, I probably have done in the past and just not realised it. At least now I'll be able to tell :)

It feels as rhythmic as a heart beat. My baby is head down and lower so for me it feels like a heartbeat in my crotch and I can feel baby's head against my pelvis. It's so awkward. He gets them sometimes twice a day and they last at least a minute.

It's a constant rhythm that lasts for a minute or so. It's just like when you have hiccups. You can tell hiccups from punches/kicks because hiccups are constant and mostly evenly spaced movements. So, if you are feeling constant, evenly spaced movements, then your baby is hiccuping..
Hope that helped!

the ladies on this app/website have BROKE me from using google!!! lol
I just don't do it anymore.. for any reason!

I get on youtube & search whatever week I am to check on development, what the baby is up to, etc. along with all the baby apps I have on my phone! (((:

stay off google!!!! (((: ❤

No there's usually a lot more than 4 or  5 of them. Just imagine how long your hiccups last.

There should be a button on google that asks if your pregnant then doesn't let you on if you say yes lol. Eventually I just stopped getting on google because it would always predict my or my babies certain death!! To my knowledge all babies get the hiccups in utero. Perfectly normal. I just felt lots of thumps towards my pelvis! That's how I knew he was head down! Don't stress momma!

My midwife doesn't like me googling things because of my severe anxiety so I've really cut down. I started using this app because people ask the same questions as I do. Just when I googled that, I didn't expect such a terrifying separate topic to emerge from it :(

I'm still not sure I understand. Is it when he "kicks" 4-5 times in one place? I can tell a wriggle from a kick/punch.. But just no luck with hiccups! I also can't tell when baby is moving in his sleep.

[aeris84]

My second baby hiccuped constantly.. like 10 times a day.. No joke! He never had issues with his umbilical cord around his neck.. Google can be a horrible thing for pregnant women. I try my best not to Google anything that I could just ask my doctor about. Try not to worry..

Omg. If you Google a headache you have a tumor.
Baby hiccups feel like a constant popping in your stomach. Like a spazum...its like when yu get hiccups. Its just inside of yu.
N its totally normal to have it
