A member asked:

I am 36 weeks pregnant and i was practicing yoga breathing and holding my breath shortly. i noticed my baby started having the hiccups during. is that a bad sign?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At "36 weeks of pregnancy", the fetus will go through periodic diaphragm contractions, simulating "hiccups", which is normal. Holding one's breath may make these normal contractions of the fetus more noticeable, but this is not " a bad sign".
