Nothing wrong: Your baby is fine. This is totally normal behavior at 32 weeks. Hiccups happen when the stomach tickles the unerside of the diapragm in the baby. Now that she is starting to swallow and practicing that for when she is born, her stomach size can increase, and when it does and tickles the undersie of the diaphragm, she hiccups. It's all good. As she grows, you feel more kick and move!
