Quite common: Some have speculated that the close position of the babies stomach with the diaphragm causes a rubbing that triggers the hiccups.This is common & generally continues on through the first months after birth. Once the child grows longer & the stomach can drop away from the diaphragm the frequency declines. It bothers mom's more than the baby.

Perfectly Normal: Fetal hiccups are normal and show that your infant is neurologically intact. Make sure fetal movements are normal as instructed by your doc & enjoy the hiccups. Take care & enjoy your little one.
