People tell you a lot of things when you’re expecting a child, but no one can really prepare you for how it feels. At times, you’ll experience things that make it seem as though you’re living out a scene from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Kicks, jabs, gurgles, flipping, flopping — it gets wild in there, y’all. But perhaps one of the strangest pregnancy sensations is fetal hiccups. Yup, baby hiccups in the womb happen, more often than you might think. And even though you’re new to this whole mom business, you’ve probably already got the worrying sitch on lock. So, are fetal hiccups normal? Could they be a sign something is wrong with the little bun in your oven? Show
As with most things that happen in utero, baby hiccups in the womb are typically just another way your child’s body prepares itself for survival in the outside world — another natural (albeit unnerving) reflex. However, it is important to be in tune with your baby’s movements. The more you listen to your body, the more likely you are to pick up on any irregularities. If your baby’s hiccups in the womb ever start to concern you, don’t hesitate to reach out to your obstetrician or midwife. But for now, keep reading to learn all about fetal hiccups and why they happen. What do fetal hiccups feel like?Now that you know they do, your next question might be a follow-up — what do they feel like? When fetal hiccups first occur, it may be a little alarming. But with time, you’ll get used to them, much like you get used to everything during pregnancy. If you feel a bit of a jerk, that’s likely a hiccup. They should never hurt, nor should they be something that disrupts your day. But you may feel your belly move differently when they happen. You might ask yourself, “Is it hiccups or kicking?” And, well, that’s a great question. Kicks won’t be as rhythmic of a motion as hiccups. They’ll also be felt all over your belly (since feet can have some range), while hiccups won’t be quite as drastic. It’s crucial to distinguish whether it’s a kick or hiccup if you’re doing kick counts. You should count kicks separately to help ensure the health of your baby. When should I expect fetal hiccups?Fetal hiccups are most common in the third trimester. Most people begin to feel the jerky and abrupt movements during their sixth month of pregnancy. However, this totally varies and may happen earlier or later, depending on the person. And for the moms who don't love the feel of fetal hiccups, after your 32nd week, you're less likely to experience them every day. Why do babies get hiccups in the womb?Consider hiccups to be more like “practice breathing” for your little one. As they take little breaths, their diaphragm contracts. When that happens, amniotic fluid enters your unborn baby’s lungs. It’s very scientific, and another reason why having a baby is a shockingly phenomenal thing to do. If you feel baby hiccups in the womb, consider it a good sign that their diaphragm is developing just like it should be. Is it normal for baby to have hiccups in the womb every day?You might be thrilled to know that it’s normal. But what if you feel fetal hiccups all the time? Most of the time, it’s normal. Some babies tend to hiccup more than others. However, if you’re feeling worried, it may be a good idea to check with your doctor. (Remember, it’s never silly to address any concerns whatsoever. If your OB/GYN makes you feel bad for asking questions, maybe it’s time to switch doctors.) How do you stop fetal hiccups?Fetal hiccups are totally harmless and not something you really have control over, but you can make the jerking less annoying. Fetal hiccups can cause discomfort for some pregnant people, making it harder for them to sleep or relax. To lessen the stress of fetal movements, follow these tips:
When should I be concerned about fetal hiccups?If hiccups seem to increase a lot during the last few weeks of your pregnancy, you might figure that it’s “movement” and a way for your baby to let you know things are progressing. Yet, it’s far more common for a baby’s hiccups to decrease during this time. While there’s no need to panic right away, there may be something troubling about the umbilical cord placement if hiccups increase. If you notice them happening more than four times daily after your 28th week of pregnancy, it’s definitely worth bringing up with a healthcare professional. That’s typically when issues when the umbilical cord may be addressed. But like with all things, your mother’s intuition is the best judge here. You may be wondering, “Do hiccups lead to fetal distress?” The answer is not usually, but timing is everything. An increase later on in your pregnancy can signify something’s not right. But early on, when you first feel them, it’s more of a sign that things are developing just as they should. The big takeaway? If your instincts tell you something is wrong, then nothing should stop you from contacting your doctor right away. What else do babies do in the womb all day?Babies do much more than "practice breathing" or hiccup in the womb. The time your bun spends in the oven is a fascinating journey. For example, did you know babies pee and poop in the womb? But no worries, the urine is sterile, and all waste is eventually cycled out. Babies in the womb can also suck their thumbs and see in the belly's dimness. This article was originally published on 3.4.2022

Baby hiccups in the womb are totally normal. Many pregnant women feel them, and baby hiccups can even be observed on an ultrasound. Your baby may have started hiccupping late in the first trimester or early in the second, although you wouldn't have felt them that early. Just like hiccups in adults and kids, fetal hiccups usually last only a few minutes and go away on their own. Hiccups happen when the diaphragm (a muscle at the bottom of the rib cage) gets irritated or stimulated. The muscle contracts involuntarily – or spasms. That spasm causes air to be sucked into the throat. As the air comes in, the vocal cords quickly close in response, producing the telltale "hic!" Of course, your baby in the womb isn't breathing air yet, and you won't hear that "hic." But you may feel your little one hiccupping regularly. What do hiccups in the womb feel like?Baby hiccups in the womb feel like small, rhythmic, jerking movements. In the beginning they may be hard to distinguish from your baby's kicks. Many expecting moms start to feel baby hiccups around the same time they feel other fetal movements, typically between 16 and 22 weeks. Some women notice that their baby has hiccups several times a day, while other women notice them only once in a while. And some expecting moms never feel fetal hiccups. It's all normal. Why do babies get hiccups in the womb?Not much is known about why babies hiccup in the womb, but one theory is that it could be a way for babies to regulate the amount of fluid in the amniotic sac. Your baby starts to swallow amniotic fluid by week 13 of pregnancy. By mid-pregnancy, the amniotic sac contains up to 26 ounces of fluid. The thinking goes that pressure from a buildup of amniotic fluid prompts babies to hiccup and swallow the excess. Other theories to explain hiccups in the womb are that they play a role in lung maturation or are a result of your baby practicing breathing. (Babies "breathe" amniotic fluid!) You may have heard that fetal hiccups in late pregnancy could indicate a problem with the umbilical cord like umbilical cord compression or prolapse. But that theory is based on limited studies in animals, and hasn't been validated in humans. In fact, fetal hiccups are generally thought to be a good sign – and feeling your baby hiccup in the womb daily in late pregnancy is associated with lower risk of stillbirth. Infants get hiccups too, so you'll probably see your baby hiccup once they're out of the womb. Experts aren't sure why newborns tend to hiccup so much, but one hypothesis is that hiccups may help babies get excess air out of their tummies.
This is an automatically translated article. Hiccups are a normal physiological phenomenon of the fetus. Every baby can get hiccups. This is considered a developmental milestone during fetal growth. Pregnant women can feel the baby hiccups. If you do not pay close attention, the mother will mistake the movements of the fetus. Abnormal movement of the diaphragm Like adults, hiccups in babies in the abdomen are caused by abnormal movements of the diaphragm. Because the organs are not perfect, the fetus cannot balance the swallowing rhythm on its own. When swallowing, the baby breathes in or out, pushing the amniotic fluid out, causing hiccups. Compressed umbilical cord At 32 weeks, pregnant women find that the baby in the belly often hiccups often and for a long time. The cause may be due to compression of the umbilical cord. This is a dangerous cause and affects the health of the fetus. The umbilical cord is compressed, the amount of oxygen delivered is reduced, causing the fetus to hiccup for a long time. When a pregnant woman feels that the fetus has hiccups for a long time, has poor fetal movements or has other abnormal signs, she should go to a reputable obstetrician-specialist clinic or a hospital with an obstetric specialty for examination. and have the next course of treatment that is right for you.

Duration: The average duration of each hiccup is about 3 to 15 minutes at a time. A day can be from one to several hiccups appear.
