A member asked:
32 weeks pregnant and baby is hiccuping 4-5 times a day for 15-20 mins. i read itcould mean the cord is compressed. should i be worried?

No: Hiccoughs are a spasm of the diaphragm and have nothing to do with cord compression. If you have pain, bleeding, or decreased fetal movement, call or see your OB. Hope this helps!
