Jo Junior's longest hiccups~

Jo Junior has hiccups every now and then!

Hiccups is very common for babies even when they are in the womb. These hiccups can start as early as the 6th week of actual conception! Many specialists believe that hiccups may help babies in strengthening their diaphragm muscle in order to help them breathe both in the womb and once they are born.

I'm looking forward to his hiccups... it is much like a rhythmic kicking. But I guess he must have a bad hiccups the night before. I think it was the longest hiccups he ever had, and that made him moving all the time. It was about 5 o'clock in the morning... his rhythmic kicking and constant 'heavy' moving awoke me. With him in the womb, I was able to be with him all the time, witnessing his hiccups and feeling his every movement. It was a very wonderful experience and good feeling for being a mother!
