Twitching diaphram: This is quite normal. It's due to extra occupancy inside you. More pressure on your diaphram can tweak the nerves and cause that muscle to vibrate - hiccups! It should not harm the baby or you even if it is annoying. If it's too uncomfortable, call your OBGYN for advice. Try to minimize anxious situations - consider a CBT therapist - it will be a good relationship for post delivery too. Best!
