Absolutely! While the term "kicking" is commonly used to describe fetal movements, babies in the womb can actually perform a variety of movements, much like they would after birth. They may kick, punch, roll, stretch, flip and even hiccup. It is important to note that fetal hiccups are rhythmic, repetitive movements that can feel like gentle taps or twitches and should not be counted as fetal movements when specifically monitoring and counting fetal movements.
