Typically during the end of the first trimester and the initial days of the second trimester, many expecting mothers experience recurrent hiccups. Primarily, it is a natural and common phenomenon. These frequent hiccups although very bothersome, do not indicate any trouble in the body and are not a cause for any major concern. Due to shortness of breath or due to improper eating habits, hiccups tend to occur too often during pregnancy and can be avoided by being more relaxed and slow especially while eating.
