At week 11, your baby looks more like a tadpole, but don’t underestimate what your little wriggler can do! At this point, your baby might have already learned to hiccup, though you won’t be able to feel this yet.

Why does your baby hiccup so early? Because the diaphragm is developing at this week, your baby is also now swallowing amniotic fluid, leading to hiccups. Don’t worry - this is perfectly normal. Just think of your baby practicing all these life skills in preparation for outside life.

You may have to wait until you’re 27 weeks pregnant to feel your baby’s hiccups. For now, your baby is still quite small for you to feel any kind of movement.
