How often does your bubba hiccup in your tummy? Ours goes crazy with the hiccups...as in at least twice daily, sometimes more! I know it's normal for them to do this and isn't meant to be distressing to them like it can be for us but boy oh boy, this little girl can hiccup for Africa and it can go on for ages! -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

JJ was like that, constantly hiccupping! It was cute to start off with but it gets old real quick huh 
It's actually a good sign - means she's practicing her breathing  -------------

My boy got hiccups all the time while I was pregnant with him. I actually found them quite painful but there is nothing you can do and it is good for them to get them because its there lung getting some exercise.
Actually while I was in labour my boy got the hiccups and now that is a very painful experience so maybe whenever she gets them you could gently rub your bump and tell her now is a good time for hiccups but not when your in labour. lol. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Gabrielle got hiccups three times a day at the same times every day :) It was quite spooky. This baby has just started to get them and I think she had them about 5 times yesterday.
Interestingly Gabrielle continued to get them heaps when she was born but was never upset by them :) ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

yea my boy gets them too - ALL the frikin time for hours and hours and hours at a time. my OB asked me a couple of weeks ago about hiccups and i said they hardly ever stopped and he told me it was a really good sign :) so as much as they are a pain in the bum its a good thing. bubs will be out soon so not long to put up with them -------------

My DD would get them at least twice a day, only little ones though that I would only feel if I was sitting. It is a good sign, I didn't really mind them and when her movements slowed as she neared due date I began to appreciate them as I knew she was okay in there.. She still gets them now ------------- http://lilypie.com">

from a book I have
" before you start holding a paper bag over your belly you should know that hiccups DONT cause the same discomfort in babies (in or out of the uterus ) as they do in adults, , even when they last for 20 minutes or more .So just relax and enjoy this little entertainment from within " Has your baby been doing them twice a day throughout most of your pregnancy or only just started ? -------------

Jake got hiccups all the time, I hated it.. still makes me shudder thinking about it.
At one point during induction I had the monitor on, he got the hiccups for 45 minutes!!!!! The poor midwife had to wait for the hiccups to pass as his heart rate went up with them and she had to make sure it was the hiccups and nothing else. He is quite a hiccupy baby too. At least once a day, he doesnt mind them though... Eeek Karen, 4 weeks to go!!!! -------------

Oh it's reasurring to know baby hiccups are so common and not distressing to them lol. Kelly- she's started doing it about 6 weeks ago but the last 3 weeks or so has gone CRAZY with hiccupping lol. Maybe she's trying to get out?! (her Mummy fervently hopes lol). I'm glad it's a good sign, but isn't it must be a bit worrying once they're out and doing it though? Mel- aaargh 4 weeks (or less!!!!) to go! I'm aiming for a 38 week delivery lol. Better not go over. Hmmmm. Not that I haven't loved being pg.... ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

nah , im mean , once she was out and doing it, and i didnt have to feel it , I thought it was funny  , but as my book says it doesnt cause them the same discomfort as it does us, but if its worrying you , best thing for it , is a breast feed .
C hiccuped all the time , but the little toe rag was still late by 8 days , sorry ! -------------

PM your email address and I will send you some photo's of our little man. I cant be bothered with photobucket at the moment. -------------
