My Baby Frequently Has Hiccups.
|
I am 34 weeks pregnant now. I love feeling my little one in there moving around. He seems to have frequent bouts of hiccups. How can a baby have hiccups if it doesn't breathe yet?

hello there, hiccups in your unbord are completly normaly and some doctors believes that its a reflex of a fetal breathing and drinking, some babies will have hiccups during the time they are inside your belly, some few times others really will experience it several times, and some others will never have hiccups. Some doctors says the hiccups are a great sign that your baby will be a stronger breather. Cheers for you and your baby.

During the first few months you can be sure that your baby will hiccup at regular intervals, particularly when he/she gets excited or just after a feed. This is quite normal and is nothing to be unduly alarmed about. Hiccups are just one of the many normal behaviours and reflexes that are common for newborn babies that parents (particularly first time parents) need to be aware of and get used to. In fact, chances are that the mother even felt the baby hiccup from time to time while still in the womb. Indeed, studies have revealed that hiccups can start as early as the 6th week after actual conception!

Baby can have hiccups just after a feed.This is quite normal.Hiccups occur when the diaphragm (the muscle that helps us to breathe) contacts forcefully. Baby’s hiccups may be helping to strengthen the diaphragm muscle in order to help the baby breathe both in the womb and once they are born.
