: Question:
: Is there anything I can do for the baby's hiccups. Last night I felt what I believe were hiccups, the constant rhythmic jerking for the first time. But it was going on for so long. I felt sorry for him/ her . I dont imagine that it does any harm right? But I wonder if there is anything I can do about it.

Our girl has them all the time and apparently it is because they are drinking fluid which causes the hiccups. It is a good sign that they are developing well and at the end of the pregnancy you will be glad they do hiccup as they don't move much anymore! So the hiccups are a good sign they are there and they are well! :)
