Is a bouncing stomach the baby’s hiccups?

Sometimes, in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, a pregnant woman can feel the fetus jumping around in the uterine cavity with great regularity, but this cannot be considered as a normal fetal activity in the uterine cavity, which means that it does not belong to the category of fetal movement. Usually the fetal hiccups occur during the gradual growth and development of the fetal diaphragm, which normally lasts for about 2-3 minutes and then subsides naturally. If the fetal hiccups occur, they should not be considered as ordinary fetal movements and should be excluded from the fetal hiccups count. If there is even a significant decrease in fetal movement or symptoms such as tightness in the abdomen, abdominal pain, vaginal fluid, etc. along with this ordinary jumping condition, the pregnant woman should seek medical help from the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital in time.
