Can someone tell me what baby hiccups feel like and when you're likely to start feeling them? I'm 23wks and feel a lot of regular movement, but nothing I would have attributed to hiccups. Unless I'm missing something.
Just interested to know!

I didn't feel any hiccups for quite a while, closer to 28w I think? And they feel like little rhythmic movements. Mine are down close to my cervix, and (awkward) it feels like my butt is hiccuping
It was pretty obvious what they were once I realized they were regular, like hiccups. But no worries, it was aaages before I felt em!
-
@Bookworm: OMG mine also totally felt like my butt was hiccuping!
-
For me it feels like a very regular movement in one area, usually down low. My friend described it as having a heart beat like feeling and that fits for me too. It's super rhythmic.
-
Just as described by PPs, very rhythmic, and for me, almost predictable! My the third tri, I could expect LO to get hiccups at least once a day (right around 3 p.m.).
-
@JessKas: yep, I would say they are very "heart beat" like.
-
Agree that they are heartbeat like-- I had to feel my pulse in my neck to make sure it wasn't the same beat (ie, that i wasn't just feeling a crazy pulse in my belly, which has tricked me before). I'm 30 weeks and I just noticed them for the first time this weekend.
-
Yes, it was very rhythmic. It was like a constant heartbeat but a little harder than that. I loved it when my kids hiccuped in utero. It's cool seeing them hiccup now too. Brings back warm and fuzzy memories.
-
Everything the PPs have said. Rhythmic, heartbeart-like steady motions. I love baby hiccups and I'll be sad after he's born to not feel them anymore
-
I'm 34 weeks and still haven't felt any hiccups
-
As others have said, they are really rhythmic, they feel like a constant popping or tapping. They started out very soft, and now my belly moves when he gets them! Sometimes he gets them several times a day. I probably started noticing them around 28 weeks? I can't remember exactly.
-
I first noticed the rhythmic popping a few days ago - Im 30 weeks. Its really gentle at the moment - and pretty weird!
-
Same as everyone else and I feel them in my butt, too, depending on baby's position! I don't remember when I first felt them, but I do know that I had the same question you did, but I knew it when I felt it.
