So I literally get the hiccups just about every day now – it’s so odd. Sometimes I get them multiple times a day, though they usually only last for about two or three hiccups at a time. Obviously my first thought about it was,
“Well, pregnant ladies must just get hiccups more frequently for some strange reason, probably for the same reason pregnant women get weird cravings for things like pickles and ice cream.”
Honestly, though, I can’t find any explanation on the Internet about being preggers and getting hiccups! Although, funny enough, there are tons and tons of search results addressing the fact that babies are known to get hiccups in utero (how adorable!). I must be the only crazy pregnant lady who doesn’t really suffer from the common weird pregnancy side effects (i.e. cravings for pickles and ice cream, morning sickness, etc.) and instead makes up her own quirky ones.
I have a dr. appointment on Monday, so maybe she can shed some light on my hiccuping situation. I’ll keep you posted. Until then, I’m off to the Jersey shore this weekend to enjoy some fun in the sun and to model my new maternity bathing suit from Target!

Pam, I hate to break it to you, but I get the hiccups ALL the time. For long periods of time too. Like, a half hour of straight, violent hiccups. I’m pretty sure it’s not a pregnant thing…
Oh shit.
at least having the hiccups is better than morning sickness!! and, again, very jealous you’re at the jersey shore. enjoy the beautiful weekend!
just had my 2nd & with both i had 2-3 hiccups about every half hour for the entire pregnancy! likewise, i only found about 2 other women who had something similar & my midwife had never heard anything like it…. so yep… it’s rare but your not alone
goodluck with the rest of your pregnancy, have my 2nd little girl now, 3 weeks old & she’s hiccuping too!
