Is anyone else feeling baby breathe from the outside?

Question

I feel the breath-like pulsation from the outside. Not my own abdominal aorta pulse (because it’s too fast to be mine). So, I can’t imagine it being anything else!🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I do, and for those saying babies don't breathe yet, they actually do. It's called practice breathing and it can start any time after 28 weeks. Pretty fascinating that it can be seen from the outside sometimes.

Answer

Babies don't actually breathe until their born. Is it hiccups maybe?

Answer

Hiccups? My little one constantly has the hiccups throught out the day(and night lol).

Answer

Omg I felt this yesterday and was trying to figure out what it was.

Answer

Felt and saw practice breathing today

Answer

Yes, they definitely do practice breathing. I’m high risk since my firstborn didn’t come out breathing, so they’re always showing me her diaphragm practicing on my BPP ultrasounds🙏🏻 definitely different than the hiccup feeling. Hiccups are more of a rhythmic thump whereas the practice breaths (or what I also imagine to be the practice breaths) are exactly what you’d imagine them to feel like🙂
