Movements vs hiccups

How can you tell that baby has the hiccups? Right now, I feel pretty steady movements (mostly in the morning and at night), but I couldn't tell you what it was! I haven't had a real definite kick yet, but I know he's still so small and it's early. I'm just wondering if it's easy to tell the difference between flips, kicks, and hiccups.

    You're still pretty early, you're more than likely feeling movements.  Movements are pretty irregular, and hiccups will feel almost like a twitch that happens every few seconds for several minutes. 

     

    I didn't feel hiccups until about 25 weeks.  

     

    ETA:  Also, when you get further along, the flips will feel like a steady roll, sometimes like your stomach is dropping.  Lately, I've been feeling knees or feet actually roll from one side of my belly to the other (almos tlike I could track them with my fingertips).  Kicks get a lot sharper and stronger.  Don't worry!  Enjoy it!  Pretty soon, LO will be shoving his/her feet up into your ribs, which is totally NOT comfortable.

     

    Hope that helps!

    I didn't start feeling hiccups until about 34 weeks or so. Hiccups make your stomach twitch in a pretty consistant pattern.  I think once a few more weeks go by, you'll really be able to tell the difference.

    You won't feel hiccups until much later.  I think I first felt them around 30wks or so.  You'll know it when you feel it because it's very rhythmic.
