with my first daughter i didn`t feel her hiccup. but with this one i was around 15-20wks and i just sorta knew thats what was going on. my stomach would jump alittle. there was a couple of seconds between each one, just like you would if you had then. it was really cool cause i didn`t think it was actually poss.

i told my mother in law how i have heard that you can feel baby hiccuping and stuff and was thinking it was people being crazy because i didnt feel it...as soon as i complained about it that night i felt my little girl hiccup for the first time...it feels like a regular little baby hiccuping but inside of you mine soes it two and three times a day and it last for like 15 minutes you will know because you will feel it one after the other and wont stop...lol

You prolly wont feel hiccup until the end of your 6th month, beginning of 7th - they get them from practicing breathing and swallowing. It almost feels like a heartbeat its got a rhythm and stays in one place and is the same strength each time. Whereas when the baby kicks you its usually sporadic, sometimes hard, sometimes soft, not precisely in the same place repetitively and consistent like hiccups. when i FIRST felt the baby move it felt like bubbles.

I`m 20 weeks, I first felt my baby at 16 weeks, it was really irregular at first, but now i can kind of predict when she`s gonna` move.Basically a couple minutes after i start to eat, and when I wake up. It doesn`t feel like butterflies to me. It just feels like something is lightly touching or pushing my insides. I love feeling my baby. I haven`t felt hiccups yet.

They feel like little tiny kicks, but the reason you can tell they`re hiccups is because their rythmic. I`m not sure how easy it is to feel them at 17 wks. I started really noticing around 25 wks.

im 17 weeks and i dont feel anything yet. I do sometimes get little knots right were baby is. like a knot is forming. my sister said thats what she felt with both of her kids. no fluttering, just knots

Its hard to explain...im 22wks and i still dont know which movements are what from baby. and i dont know which hiccups are. But imo it feels at the beginning like muscle twitching...and then you will feel full blown thumps. as if someone is inside of you flicking you...not a painful flick but its there! you will know...i thought i knew when i was first feelin it...but now i defentally know! Its the best feelin...kinda gets agervating when you are tryin to slp and it wants to play...lol but its a great feeling!!!

put your finger in your mouth and tickle the inside of your cheek. That`s what it felt like to me when it first started (but, in my belly).

i really dint feel anything until i turned 20 weeks, like butterfly said it feel like twitches or something like that it dosent hurt when my baby kicks its an amazing feeling

butterfly034 (1525.3 days ago)
HA! This is one of the questions that I had for so long until I knew myself. People kept asking my `dosen`t it feel like butterflys in your tummy!!?` I never had that feeling. When I first felt him moving I remember it feeling like twitches (like when your eye gets that twitch of leg muscle), and hiccups are re-accuring in the same spot for a longer period of time. I can count the seconds in between hiccups, moving is more sporadic. Hope that helps! Good luck during your pregancy!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
