A member asked:
33-34weeks is it ok that my baby has hiccups multiple times a day lasting up to 5 minutes? is she safe in there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: It is thought that the close proximity of the breathing muscle & the stomach leads to rubbing that can trigger hiccups. This often occurs late in pregnancy and can persist for weeks off & on after birth. It doesn't seem to bother the kid as much as it does the parents. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
