I am at appx 29 weeks, and the baby has the hiccups for a few minutes each day, sometimes several times per day. Is this bad, that its so often?

I wasnt worried until I went for my 28 week sonogram recently and mentioned the fetal hiccups and the dr. said "he shouldnt get them every day".

I'm 34 weeks and my baby gets them about 2 or 3 times a day and my doctor told me that they are very normal and even healthy for the baby, it shows the baby's lungs are developing.

This is very normal, my little Amaya got them everyday at 3pm and 3am, kinda weird I know, but still to this day she gets them at the same time (2 months old) They make her so mad. It is really funny

I don't know why your dr would say that. I've never heard anything like that. I'm 30 weeks and this baby gets them every day at least, if not more than once a day, just like my first did.

Hiccups are not bothersome to babies like they are to us. They're actually sort of soothing to the baby, which is weird. But it's 100% normal if your baby is having hiccups daily or even a few times a day. Some babies have them more than others. I'm 33 weeks and yesterday was my first time experiencing the feeling of my baby having hiccups, it was so cute!!

does anyone know what causes the hiccups? My first child had hiccups frequently, and when she was born she had reflux for almost a year. I dont think it had anything to do with the hiccups, but I really dont know.

Shelley, I read our babies get the hiccups when they are practising breathing movements with their lungs, and sometimes they inhale or swallow some amniotic fluid and it gives them the hiccups, but is completely normal. Like the other ladies said, it's all part of their lung and diaphragm development.

My baby has been getting hiccups since my 6th month, I am 36 weeks now. he gets them at least 2 or 3 times a day, and he is perfectly healthy. We even saw him gulping amniotic fluid at one of the ultrasounds, they are just practicing breathing and it is normal

It's completely normal and healthy. A doctor should know that and not tell you that the baby "shouldn't" have them every day. Hiccups are just fine for developing babies, and are actually a sign of lung development and maturity. I'm 35 weeks and feel them all the time, have been for quite a while now. Sometimes I don't feel them one day, and then feel them several times the next.

I am 35 weeks along and until 2 days ago, I was blissfully unaware that "hiccups" could be bad. I was thinking....oh how cute...and feeling good that my baby's diaphram (muscle that helps you breath) was getting ready for breathing. OH...but noooo...the "experts" and the medical studies online would not have that. They had to let me know about how frequent hiccups were related to nuchal cord (around baby's neck) and how it is linked with stillbirth. grrrrrrrr. Is anyone else sick of this? There is actually a top 10 list of 'signs you could have a stillbirth'.....besides hiccups....there was 'not moving enough' and then.....you guessed it...'moving TOO much'....I think they are trying to drive us all insane. I personally think it's the old "fear breeds consumption" theory. If you get people scared enough, they will go out and spend $$. They will buy fetal heart monitors and every book written on the subject. My peace of mind comes from message boards like this one. Knowing that, for instance, almost all babies get frequent hiccups makes me feel 100% better. For these last few weeks, I'm going to have to force myself not to "google" everything I come across....I want my baby to have a mentally stable mother...=)
