We are at 39 weeks with our unborn son and he has them quite often. We asked our doctors about it and no they arent bad. We were told they are basically the baby preparing him\herself for breastfeeding by imitating the sucking motion. Some babys come out with little sore spots on the hand\arm\etc where they did the sucking.

As the guy I think its awesome to feel the little guy hiccup while in utero... it's amazing.

Is hiccups common during pregnancy?

Many pregnant women wonder what their baby is doing when they feel those rhythmic movements later in pregnancy. Most are surprised to learn their baby has the hiccups! That is right, many babies have the hiccups while they are in the womb and some babies have the hiccups multiple times per day. But, what causes this and why do babies hiccup in the womb anyway? There has not been an overwhelming amount of research on fetal hiccupping in the womb, although there is some speculation as to why it happens. First of all, only more mature fetuses hiccup in the womb because their central nervous system is adequately developed in order to allow this to happen. It is believed that the fetus breathes in amniotic fluid or drinks it. When this happens and the amniotic fluid enters and exists the fetus lungs then the diaphragm contracts and hiccups results. Fetal hiccups appear to be extremely normal and almost all moms will feel the babies hiccups at least once if not on a regular basis.


Why do baby gets hiccups inside the womb?

Because of hormonal changes that can cause irritation. Also, organs are pushed together as the fetus develops, causing irritation and hiccups.

The nervous system is stimulated and the sex is often great. Happy Hiccups ! :-)
