23 weeks, cause for concern?

23 weeks and a FTM, I've felt movement from my baby girl since as early as 14weeks, but can't quite describe this feeling. It almost feels like she has hiccups and it's a shallow thump feeling that is steady, not like the kicks I'm used to. It started last night when I got off my 8hr serving shift, continued for a good hour or so then started again this evening. I'm wondering if I should call my doctor or if it's just silly first mama jitters making me paranoid.

    Poor thing, I've always had hiccups, especially now that I'm pregnant. It seems like mother like daughter haha

    It could be because she's so low that I feel a lot of pressure on my pelvis and the hiccups sort of exacerbate the pain, which is the only reason I'm hyper aware of them.

    It's hiccups and it is perfectly normal and ok.

    DD had a lot in utero. It was cute until I was trying to go to sleep. Even now, almost 4 years later, she is susceptible to them when tickled mercilessly.

    Both DS and this one had/have hiccups ALL the time in utero. Probably once a day. Just like you said, it's a very regular thumping feeling. Much more "gentle" than kicks, but also much more regular. My mom said my siblings and I always got hiccups in utero, too.

    The can hiccup, shiver motion, breath movement , kick, head butt, punch, startle


    Just about anything you see them do on the outsides. And before you freak out they will get seizure fast type moments as well.

    Usually my baby will have them first, then I'll get them. While I'm working (I waitress 7-8hrs a day) she'll always get hiccups towards the end of the night and start kicking a lot once I'm finishing up sidework and not running around. It's pretty cute how predictable she is but sometimes it really does THUD against my pelvis (ouch!!)
