Increased Fetal hiccups mean cord compression!?

Question

I'm 35 weeks pregnant today and I started to notice my baby hiccuping more than 2 times and I heard it could mean cord compression!?!?  Anyone have any facts on this? Should I be worried?

Answer

I'm an L&D nurse and I've never heard of that.

Answer

My daughters each had hiccups 5-10 times a day for the last 3 months and there was no issues. This one is also has then all the time

Answer

From what I understand that's SUPER rare.

Answer

I actually read this today as my girl hiccups at least twice a day. It's rare that it is caused by cord compression but if it was, the article I read stated you'd notice decreased fetal movement. I've read much more about it being a healthy sign!

Answer

I'm 35 weeks as well and my baby girl hiccups ALL the time lol. I enjoy the lil movements. Your baby is fine. If not, your body will certainly let you know and so will your baby. If you're really concerned and want more concrete information talk to your doctor about it. But I'm sure they will tell you your baby is doing just fine.

Answer

I heard it's a healthy sign when babies have the hiccups.

Answer

Thanks y'all. I was starting to worry. Her movements are still the same. Just can't wait till she's here.
