Can you feel and see your baby "breathing" in your womb? « Back to Group Discussions

I have been able to see my belly go up and down as the baby is in there practicing breathing, noticed it with each pregnancy.  I can tell that's what it is, because it's a constant steady rhythm not in sync with my own heartbeat.  It's so neat.  I'm noticing it more and more as she grows.  Anyone else?

yup, I've noticed it too! Pretty neat!

Mine gets the hiccups a lot. Several times a day. I was at the acupuncturist yesterday, and as I'm sitting in the chair with the needles placed, baby gets the hiccups and they are strong enough the my whole body is subtely rocking and moving the chair. Lol.

I haven't felt/seen breathing, but my babies have both gotten hiccups almost every day!  It's cute, then gets kind of annoying when it lasts for a long time.

Yes! I witnessed that just the other day, the first time I have ever in my three pregnancies! I had never heard of it before, and I thought I was crazy! So neat to hear of others witnessing it too.

I see it every day and it's pretty amazing to think that she is in there just breathing away!  It also shows me her position, which is head down with her back on the front of my left side.
