How many times a day do you notice the baby's hiccups?

Question

I'm just paranoid because I read online that hiccups are normal but sometimes can mean the cord is around the neck. GAH!! That's my fear. 😢😭 I noticed the frequency has increased. I'm 34 weeks.

Answer

Relax. Stop googling.

Answer

Hiccups are a muscle spasm in the diaphragm. It has nothing to do with where the cord is. Hiccups are a sign of health because it means the baby is practicing breathing. 
And it is very common for the cord to be around the neck or an arm or leg; unless there's a knot or it's extremely tight (which is rare and has absolutely nothing to do with anything you do) it's not a danger because the baby is getting oxygen and nutrients through the umbilical cord, not its mouth.

Answer

Some days I feel them 2-3 times a day some days he has them more than that.

Answer

I feel it 3-4 times a day but I think it has increased as well, or I'm just feeling them more because he's head is down. I'm 30wks.
