Fun Fact! Hiccup was born prematurely
It is implied throughout the first (animated) movie that Hiccup was born prematurely. Even In the second film Valka was worried about him and described Hiccup as a “wee thing” when he was born. Even compared to the other viking kids he has a very hard time with lifting certain things. Even Gobber said that Hiccup could be used as a toothpick towards the dragons.
