Pregnancy Question: Can you tell the position of a baby by his hiccups?

I'm not sure what part of the baby's body spasms the most when he's hiccuping...does the spot where I feel the hiccups going on indicate perhaps where his little head is? Thanks in advance! :-

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

With my first baby, my midwife told me some helpful tips. She said, "If your baby has regular hiccups, where are you feeling them at? If you feel them down between your pelvic bones or on the underside of your belly, the baby is head down. Also some women feel a thick lump on the upper side of their stomache and can't tell if it's the baby's head or butt. If you can  push a little on it, you probably won't get much reaction if it's the toushie. The baby's head will get a much stronger reaction from prodding or pushing."

The hiccups are almost always low in the pelvic area. I've been hoping that he's head down :-)

I was going to say the same thing about the midwife telling me how to tell which part of the body I was feeling! Why don't OB's know these things?

From just observing people of all ages, I think it's really more their torsos that jerk, especially if they're lying down. I guess the only age I haven't been able to observe with my eyes has been pre-birth!

For the record, my boy was my big hiccuper; but I was my mom's. Her class used to crack up watching the book she was perching on her handy built-in shelf jerk.
