Hello doctor! I am 32 weeks pregnant, about 4-5 days now baby hiccups. In the first few days, the baby only hiccups, but in the last 2 days, he has been hiccuping and kicking. So the doctor asked me if the baby hiccups have any effect? Thanks for the advice and answers!

Answer
Hello. The cause of fetal hiccups in the womb is due to abnormal movement of the diaphragm, compressed umbilical cord. The causes of hiccups do not affect the health of the fetus, except for the cause of the umbilical cord being compressed. When the baby in the belly has sudden hiccups that are stronger and longer, combined with other unusual symptoms, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Besides, you should keep your mind relaxed and optimistic. Build and maintain yourself a scientific diet, get regular rest....
