Teagan's Got The Hiccups!!!

Posted by The Polhemus' at 1:25 PM
Teagan has been getting the hiccups a lot lately and although its annoying when I'm trying to sleep, its really funny to see. I managed to get a little on video and you can even see her move around a little in the beginning and end of the clip!!!

"There has not been an overwhelming amount of research on fetal hiccupping in the womb, although there is some speculation as to why it happens. First of all, only more mature fetuses hiccup in the womb because their central nervous system is adequately developed in order to allow this to happen. It is believed that the fetus breathes in amniotic fluid or drinks it. When this happens and the amniotic fluid enters and exists the fetus lungs then the diaphragm contracts and hiccups results."
