NO, if you are counting kicks then it has to be kicks.  Hiccups are neat to feel and watch but the doctor is asking for kicks.  There is a reason for this...Hiccups isn't having the baby move around...kicks are

Yes,  definitely.  Some doctors don't even require kick counts until 28 wks.  And they say to just pick one time during the day to count.  So it seems like you're doing a great job.  

And I'm sure you know,  an anterior placenta cushions the baby's movements so you won't feel as much as someone with a fundal or posterior placenta.

Congrats on your pregnancy,  keep up the good work =)

No,  hiccups don't count. The point of fetal kick counts us to make sure the baby is moving enough.
