I think that ALQBsmommy was just letting us know her experience and I think that when someone loses a child they really want to help others not to have to experiece the same thing. I am terribly sorry for your loss ALQBsmommy.Loss is a terrible thing to experience and the worst thing is, there is usually no explanation for why it happens and in almost every case there is nothing that a woman could have done to prevent it.
Losing a child after the first trimester is very rare but its something every pregnant mommy is terrified about. Please do not worry, 99% of babies born in the 3rd trimester are perfectly healthy, hiccups and all.
But as ALQBsmommy had also stated, its best to be aware of your babies movements in the last trimester. And if you ever feel anxious about your baby's health, be sure to contact your health provider. They are not just there for medical care but should also be available to you for support.
However, the best thing that you can do for you and your baby is to relax and enjoy your pregnancy, it goes by faster than you'd think!
