Baby hiccups

Ashley

I'm 31w3d and I'm noticing my baby gets the hiccups a lot lately. I can feel them pretty much everyday. Today she has had them twice already. I read so many conflicting things. Like she shouldn't get them everyday something could be wrong and then other things say that it's totally normal. Have any of you dealt with baby hiccuping a lot and what were you told. Any information is helpful!

I specifically asked my doctor this at my last visit, because I kept seeing it could mean there is a cord problem. He said no, hiccups are good, and indicate a good nervous system.

My first daughter had hiccups all the time, multi times a day and she is perfect... no issues. My midwife said it is a good sign they are practicing the breathing movements. My baby now gets them about once a day.

No need to worry. My babe gets them constantly. When I was in the hospital last weekend and was hooked up the monitor she had the hiccups a lot and they said she's just building strong lungs.

Totally normal and very safe! Just means they’re practice breathing. It’s a good thing.

My baby has them at least once a day yesterday was 4 times that I noticed! I also have read conflicting things about them having them often.

Googling stuff will literally drive you insane but most people say its fine so that's comforting

Baby boy hiccups like 2-4 times a day, asked at doctor today and she said perfectly normal. He's just practicing breathing. We also had our 32 week growth scan today and he passed with flying colors so he seems to be perfectly happy in there!
