Head down, hiccups felt high?

kris2131 · January 2012

Is that possible? I was just sitting here at my desk and I felt like what couldn't have been kicks. It was repetitive and felt like a light tapping in pretty quick succession, so I can only guess they were hiccups. But if he's head down, would I feel his hiccups higher up? Or would that mean he's most likely flipped?

I feel hiccups way way down low and she is head down, confirmed by an u/s yesterday... I don't know how you could feel them high unless, baby flipped, or they were not hiccups?

Sounds like he flipped. But, don't worry, my doc said this week at my appt that there is still plenty of room for LO to move around. I've always felt her hiccups low in my pelvis. That's also where her heartbeat has been every time, so doc said she's head down right now.

My baby is head down and I get this all the time. I think she just hiccups kind of violently and her butt is what I feel. That or her hand is down at her side.

Maybe he's bored and tapping his toes? Wink

I have no idea if they were hiccups or not. I thought he had them once before a few weeks ago, but they don't happen often enough for me to know for sure. I guess if it happens again, I'll know...

This. Her body is so little, I imagine hiccups would reverberate through all of her if they're strong.

I did get a tapping by her feet a few nights ago. Even made DH feel it. I thought she had flipped and was breech, but asked in the u/s yesterday for her to point out body parts. I think she was in the same position as the previous night, so what I was feeling was def by her feet...

I have a hard time telling. It amazes me how the nurses feel for a few seconds and know exactly how she is sitting.

Funny that you posted this just now because I'm feeling something that must be hiccups. I feel it in my side, at the same level as my belly button, so it must be where his chest/abdomen is. I'm fairly certain that he is still head down because of all the limb movement I feel above my belly button.

Where are you feeling them?

I felt them towards the top of my uterus. Not all the way at the top, but the upper section where his feet usually are. Or his butt. I have no idea where things are.

I feel them low just above my pubic bone, or some times slightly to the right but still low(he still shifts a bit, an when he does its damn uncomfortable)

Echoing PPs. If the baby is not engaged, then he can flip around at any time. Just because he was head down yesterday he might have changed to feet down today.

I don't know about everyone else, but when I have hiccups, I feel them in my chest and back, not my head. (That was a lot of commas.)
