Hiccups! Posted: 03-23-07 10:22am
So... how can you tell if the baby has the
hiccups? And when are you supposed to
start feeling them? i think .kaylee had
the hiccups the other day, but i'm not
sure.

Most of my friends have told me they
started feeling their babies hiccup around
18-19 weeks. Usually your belly jerks a
little when they hiccup. I am 18.5 weeks
along and have just started feeling my
baby move around, so I haven't got to
experience the hiccups yet; this is just
what I have been told by friends.

i don't know for sure but i think it's
later than that, more like 25+ weeks. i
don't remember when i started feeling them
but it's very rhythmic and it just feels
like a continuous jerking (my baby's came
like 1 per second). it's also pretty
strong, my husband was able to feel them
if he pushed on a certain spot. my little
guy got them like 4 times a day but some
babies don't get them at all, so don't be
worried if you don't ever feel it.

i have a book that i read on pregnancy in
each of my pregnancies and if i remember
correctly i think that babies can start
getting the hiccups around 27 weeks when
they begin to practice breathing, hope
this helps

OMG Hiccupps!
I think that mine started around week 30
or so...and mostly noticed them after I
ate! He had tem right up until 1 hour
before he was born, they showed up on the
monitor it was hilarious!
It feels like a rhythmic thump, thump,
thump...and can go on for a while. My
Little guy is 9 days old now and still
gets them...but mostly after her eats.
Sometimes it fels like they are hiccupping
forever in there but I think that the
longest mine ever lasted was about 30 min.

ohhhh hiccups. hahaha. gabe started
getting them when i was probably close to
30wks. & .he got them literally about
5-6 times a day! my whole belly would
jerk/twitch. you could see them quite
visibly. like everyone else says, you'll
probably know when she gets them. it's a
continuous rhythmic jerking or twitching.
it kinda just feels like when you have
hiccups, except they're down in your
belly.

Haha, ok. Then I guess she hasn't gotten
them yet. I'm almost 25 weeks so i thought
that was a little early.
Damn it, all you girls are talking about
your new babies! I just want this
pregnancy to hurry up so i can hold my
little girl .
