A member asked:

How many hiccups episodes are normal for a 36 weeks fetus? my girl has 2-3 episodes per day and they're somewhat long. i'm worried about uca.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?UCA : Hiccups are thought to represent electrical activity circulating in the babies diaphragm triggered by its close proximity to the stomach. It is normal and not associated with any birth defect or problem I am aware of. It varies among pregnant women and most who have it prior to birth will do it for a few months after.
