[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - just came across dr Jason Collins of the pregnancy institute. Now I'm terrified. Not only have I had hiccups but I've woken up a couple of nights freaked out b/c I couldn't remember the last time the baby moved. Well, a lot of stillbirths occur at night, according to dr Collins, due to drops in maternal BP affecting an already compressed cord. I'm thinking about going in. [/quote] I can tell you are really feeling preoccupied with baby's safety. I can relate. If you have a hunch that something is wrong, you're right to go in. But take care not to google yourself into a frenzy. If you are worried about baby's safety during the night, lie on your left side, which allows the maximum blood flow and oxygen flow to your baby. The thing that I've never understood about baby's prolonged hiccups and the supposed stillbirth connection is that if baby is not actually breathing and is just practicing, what would the cord have to do with the hiccups? But maybe that's been explained. Good luck, OP, and I hope everything is fine. [/quote]
