It's possible they happened before but this time it lasted a good minute and was just so rhythmic. It sort of felt like a muscle twitch near my hip? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-735403 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:01:29 +0000 deerylou 735403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't be absolutely sure! I'll have periods of movement that feel like they might, in fact, be hiccups, since each little "thump-thump" seems to be on a timed schedule. I'm 29 weeks and have noticed this for the past week, perhaps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-735376 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:40:57 +0000 LazyLightning 735376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>32 weeks or so. It took me a few times of it happening before i realized what it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-735371 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:39:05 +0000 Bao 735371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 27/28 weeks.

I wasnt sure it was hiccups until 32 weeks and then she would get them several times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-734886 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:15:51 +0000 Revel 734886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was feeling them for a while I think, but didn't identify what they were until 28-30 weeks. My midwife was explaining that LO was head down and asking what I was feeling and where, and she explained that the rhythmic tapping I felt down low was hiccups. She seems to have them almost every day now at 34 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-734867 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:11:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 734867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooo early here! I was feeling them around 30 weeks. LO would get them at least 5 times a day and almost always right before bed. It was really awesome at first, but then got to be a bit frustrating as they would last quite a while. And it's hard to fall asleep with your belly moving every 5 seconds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-734862 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:10:04 +0000 Ra 734862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 weeks and still no hiccups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-734858 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:09:00 +0000 rattles 734858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never felt them, but she gets them all the time now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-734856 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:08:20 +0000 yourekindapretty 734856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 31 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-feeling-hiccups#post-734830 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:59:14 +0000 Alivoo01 734830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 24+3 and baby boy is just starting to roll around sometimes.

I figured it was normal, and my OB is out of town until after the new year so I figured I'd ask on here instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hiccups-at-38-weeks#post-468637 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:24:21 +0000 lemondrop 468637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For peace of mind it it's never bad to check with your doctor/midwife, always go with your gut if you are concerned. My little guy had hiccups all the time in the third trimester though, I was never warned to be worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hiccups-at-38-weeks#post-468628 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:19:22 +0000 MamaMoose 468628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that too and panicked and my doctor looked at me like I had three heads when I asked about. She told me hiccups mean your baby's developing well and they are nothing to worry about. Baby probably is just in a new position that allows you to feel the hiccups. My LO had then all the time near the end and she was perfectly healthy with no cord issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hiccups-at-38-weeks#post-468626 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:18:40 +0000 rachiecakes 468626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@xoxcmjxox: from weeks 37 on I had bi-weekly NSTs and BPP ultrasounds. One of the items they look for on the ultrasound is "practice breathing/lung movement", the tech told me that hiccups were the sign of a healthy baby getting ready to enter the world, working out the diaphragm/lungs. I had baby hiccups every single morning until I gave birth and then he got them as a newborn as well. I've never heard that about the cord being in a knot. I wouldn't trust Dr. Google. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hiccups-at-38-weeks#post-468623 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:16:27 +0000 ladyfingers 468623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been feeling hiccups regularly for around 8 weeks now (I'm 34 weeks). I've never heard that it would be caused by any such issue. It's a natural result of the baby "practice breathing" and therefore inhaling amniotic fluid. I have them every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hiccups-at-38-weeks#post-468617 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:10:44 +0000 xoxcmjxox 468617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 38 weeks pregnant and noticed that my baby had hiccups for the first time (that I noticed) two days ago. Then he had them again last night. I have read that this can be a sign of there being a knot in the umbilical cord.... has anybody experienced hiccups this late in pregnancy before and never noticed them before? This is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure what to expect, and google-ing things makes me paranoid. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-you-tell-hiccups-amp-body-parts#post-440371 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:50:29 +0000 Smurfette 440371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I have been having these, maybe it is the hiccups. I have no clue what else it could be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-you-tell-hiccups-amp-body-parts#post-440171 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:06:54 +0000 ladyfingers 440171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 3 weeks ago, I was telling people that I thought women who sit there and go "oh, there's his little feet, oh his little butt's over here" were full of s*** because I couldn't tell what was what. But now I think I have a pretty good idea. It took me until around 29 or so weeks to really know where everything was. Basically, I knew he was head down when I started feeling hiccups in the lower right (you will know, they literally feel like hiccups -- they're slightly faster than ours), but I didn't feel hiccups until around 26, 27 weeks. Then when the doctor pointed out his head to me (I could literally feel it when I pressed) at 29 weeks, I could make out the rest of his anatomy. I get big nudges on the upper right (butt) and big pops on the upper left (feet) and flutters in the lower left (hands). Also the right side of my uterus gets hard where the left side doesn't, so that must be his back taking up that space. It takes some time though -- at least it did for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-you-tell-hiccups-amp-body-parts#post-440070 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:22:18 +0000 pl0508 440070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hiccups are continual and at regular intervals. I didn't know exactly what body parts I was feeling until we had an u/s and i was able to ask a nurse what was in my ribs - it was his feet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-you-tell-hiccups-amp-body-parts#post-439975 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:19:31 +0000 shopaholic 439975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I have felt those rapid little twitches, but still not sure those are hiccups yet. That's cool you actually got to see that on the u/s!</p> <p>@MamaMoose: That makes total sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-you-tell-hiccups-amp-body-parts#post-439187 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 13:45:23 +0000 plaidpants 439187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just telling my pregnant SIL about the hiccups! I was in the same "how the heck can you tell??" camp when I was first pregnant, but like others said, you know when it happens! But I could never tell the difference between punches and kicks. </p>
