I am 16 weeks pregnant and rented a doppler. I've been listening for a while but a couple of days ago and this morning my husband & I both heard a few high pitched noises that sounded like hiccups or a cry, although I know there's probably no way since the lungs are filled with fluid. Just thought I'd ask though! I don't know what it could've been.

babies lungs are not full of fluid before birth they are deflated before they take their first breath at birth,no it wasnt the baby making any noises,probably the batteries in the doppler playing up

You're right, no crying since there's no air yet and for vocal noises there has to be air passing over the vocal chords. You can feel hiccups but they wouldn't be a high-pitched sound on a doppler. Most likely you're getting some kind of feedback on your doppler, it's a sound pickup/speaker system just like a microphone is so sometimes you do get odd echoey noises!

THe baby has no air in your womb so there is no way it could possibly make any vocal noises in there.
I believe the sound of your voice is air being passed over the vocal cords. Those dopplers make really weird noises sometimes though. If you get the mic to close to the speaker it will make a wailing sound sometimes.

The baby can not cry in the womb. Hiccup, yes. Odds are it was a hiccup of the baby moving and or kicking that you heard.

i think its too soon for the hiccups but i could be wrong. babies do hiccup in the womb as they practice swallowing and you will be able to tell when this happens a the bump hiccups too! babies dont cry in the womb - they have no stimulus to provide pain as they are cushioned by the amniotic fluid.
the sounds may have just been from baby moving around.

The sounds you hear are:
1. Gasses moving through your intestines.
2. The fluid around the baby sloshing.

ya the baby cant cry yet because it has no air in the lungs, it could have just been the baby hitting or kicking the uterus. Good luck to you
Just a guess though.

I don't know about hearing them but I felt the hiccups when I was pregnant with mine.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to hear something if baby is hiccupping, but not crying. Babies don't cry persay until birth. I would ask your doc what they think it could be. For all we know, it could be your tummy digesting something!
