Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it good if the fetus hiccups a lot?Doctor's answer:
Fetal hiccups are very normal, just like adults breathing. Because the baby's lungs haven't developed well yet, they need to keep swallowing amniotic fluid. While swallowing amniotic fluid, they practice lung breathing to be able to breathe normally like adults after birth. In other words, when the baby hiccups, it's actually a way to improve lung breathing ability. All you need to do is gently pat him when he hiccups, and they will stop after a few minutes.
