xp from 2nd Tri- Baby hiccups?

Danikat15 · November 2009

I posted this on 2nd trimester, too, but just thought that you ladies might have a better idea.

How far along are you when you start feeling the baby having hiccups? I felt this rhythmic tapping this morning while laying in bed. It wasn't like normal kicks and jabs and it wasn't coming from one area, but more like a shaking feeling in my belly. It last about 30 seconds then stopped and I felt Cadie readjust herself and she's been pretty quiet since. I'm thinking this was hiccups, but I just thought that it was still kind of early for that (I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow). Anyone have any ideas?

I didn't notice mine until about 30 weeks but it sounds like what you are describing might have been hiccups. Cute, huh?

It's not too early for hiccups, but they normally last much longer than 30 sec- with both DD and DS, they have lasted between 5 and 30 min. While I generally feel them more in one area, close to where the head is, but depending on the position I sometimes feel them throughout my whole belly. They are very rhythmic.

Just this past week, so 30 weeks for me too.

Like pp said, they tend to last at least a few minutes and the feeling is centralized in one area. It's possible that's what it was though, I don't think you're too early to be feeling them.

To me, it feels like a heart beat pattern.

I didn't feel them until 28 weeks - and when my LO gets them, they last for a LONG time - but yes, what you are describing sounds like hiccups.

Same here.

Thanks ladies. It definitely felt like a heart beat pattern rather than individual kicks. I was actually on my side/stomach when I felt it and it stopped when I shifted on my back. I guess I'll see if I feel it again, but my gut tells me it was hiccups.

Definitely sounds like hiccups. With this pregnancy, I *may* have felt them as early as around 18 weeks (not sure about that one) but they were unmistakable starting at 25 weeks. They also last for different lengths of time -- 30 seconds doesn't sound "too short" to me at all, especially if they stopped when you shifted. The baby may have just moved into a different place where you couldn't feel them as strongly.

I first noticed hiccups I think around 27 weeks. It's a light, rhythmic tapping. It's very cute and endearing - I love it when he hiccups! And I probably feel it now every few days, sometimes a few times a day and other days not at all.
