Is frequent hiccups in late pregnancy normal for fetuses

  Some pregnant women often feel regular palpitations in their babies during the late stages of pregnancy, which is different from fetal movement and makes their mothers feel strange. In fact, this is a phenomenon caused by the fetus burping. However, when the baby burps frequently, the mother still worries. So, is it normal for the fetus to burp frequently during the late stages of pregnancy?

  

Is frequent hiccups in late pregnancy normal for fetuses1

  Around the 28th week of pregnancy, the fetus begins to continuously swallow the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb, allowing the lungs to exercise in the amniotic fluid. At this time, the fetus may experience hiccups, which is also a preparation for smooth breathing after birth. Therefore, it is a very normal phenomenon. Mothers in the late stages of pregnancy should not worry about hiccups in their fetuses.

  But sometimes, if a pregnant woman's baby burps too frequently, it can really affect the expectant mother's rest or psychological condition. At this time, if the mother is too worried, she can gently touch the baby when the baby burps too frequently, which can help relieve the symptoms of hiccups and temporarily stop the baby from burping.

  The baby in the late stage of pregnancy has basically taken shape. As long as you pay attention to maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, the baby will not be in too much danger. Therefore, mothers do not need to be too nervous about the baby's condition. When encountering situations that they do not understand, they can consult a doctor to answer their questions. Don't be too anxious. Before giving birth, mothers still need to ensure a positive and optimistic attitude.
