For the past weeks I have been feeling pokes that would last like 5 minutes every 1-2 hours and I thought they are movements. But this evening, the pokes are in the same rythme and it just dawned on me that it could be hickups. I don't know why I always imagined hickups would be felt in my throat and not my stomach! Hehe, being a first time mom!! If these pokes are hickups, it would mean I haven't felt many movements yet because I have only gotten that rolling sensation like 3 times in 3 weeks (when I began to feel baby)

Anyway, can someone help describe what hickups feel like? And how do I help baby stop getting them. I know from my experience that it can be a painful or uncomfortable feeling so want to help the child.
