when do hiccups start?

[umami_mommy]

i remember them with my son. but i haven't felt any yet with this one.

(i can't believe this, as i sit here typing this i think i actually feel some! uhhh.. man do i feel stupid now.)

[mama~anna]

This little one has been getting them regularly since about 20 weeks. Now she gets them daily.

[MoonWillow]

Yes I have felt them for what seems like a long time now. Sorry I can't remember an exact week. Both kids so far have had them every day in the 3rd trimester!

I was actually thinking the other day that this baby doesn't seem to get hiccups. My other kids all did, so it does seem a bit strange. But I am not going to worry about it...

how do you know what a hiccup is?

[timneh_mom]

It seems like my son got them a lot more than this baby. And I just started recognizing them as such within about the last week or two.

It just feels like a rhythmic, regular twitching. It's different from the usual kicks and jabs.

[umami_mommy]

uh, it's like a small rhythmic uhhhh, popping. movement. jumping. uh, hard to describe. pretty much the way you would imagine hiccups feeling if someone was hiccuping inside you!

I have been feeling them for about a week now, (32 wks) but didn't realize what they were until sat. At first I thought she was rhythmically inclined. But then it dawned on me what was really going on and I felt kinda stupid.

faster than big people hiccups? i think he miiiiight have had them occasionally but if he did they never lasted long.

[ibusymomto5]

My baby has been having them everyday for at least a month now, maybe even 2. It's not uncommon for her to have them 3 times a day, but they usually only last a few minutes.

She had them for the first time about a week ago, but not since then. My boys seemed to have them more often.
