BR: Hiccups?

So I've started feeling that I *think* are hiccups. It's more like a fluttering sensation on one side of my belly. Is that what is going on? It seems really close to the surface and would otherwise feel like gas bubbles, but is most definitely baby related.

Re: BR: Hiccups?

  • Zac had hiccups all. the. time. And I wouldn't really know how to explain the feeling.

    But here is the thing, while I was pregnant I just considered it fluttery, kicking, baby movement of some kind BUT the first time he got the hiccups as an outside baby (while I was holding him in the hospital) I remember saying, "OH!! That's what that feeling was!"

    So bizzare, one of those things I will never forget.

  • Both Alex and this one have always been head down it seems. So I have only felt hiccups in my butt. Now, that is an odd feeling. For me, hiccups feel like a consistent flicking sensation if that makes sense.

    Hiccups are one of my favorite movement feelings, second only to catching body parts on the belly (like pushing back on a foot or knee and knowing that's what I'm pushing on).

  • Lol, thanks. I think it probably is a form of hiccups. I have no idea how baby is positioned b/c 90% of the movement I feel is on the sides of the ute. My guess is breech though since my bladder has so far been spared.

    I loved the hiccup feeling too.

    And you describe it well, all most like the beat of a song, just very consistent tapping sensation.

  • I can tell this kid is head down because I can feel hiccups really low in my pelvis several times a day.  I'm not sure how to describe it very well though.  I feel one flutter-like sensation every couple seconds and it lasts for a minute or two.  It's the steady rythym of flutters equally spaced out that makes me pretty certain that it's hiccups.  And it feels exactly the same as it did with my first pregnancy.

    I love feeling baby hiccups!

  • With Nolan, either I didn't know that's what it was or he just didn't get them until much later but this time both of my girls have hiccups at least once a day! Last night they had them at the same time... now that was weird!

    I can't describe it other than a rhythmic slight thumping sensation. :)
