hiccups vs kicks

I'm basically trying to identify my baby's movements.
I'm 19 weeks. I've been feeling unmistakable kicks for about 2 weeks, and about 2X per day for the last week plus the nightly routine. Today,  she has not rested (I'm blaming the maple sugar candy I've been eating throughout the day, haha. I usually don't eat sweets). I feel several kicks per minute, but for about 5 minutes I felt them almost every three seconds. Are those hiccups? Or is she just kicking a lot?

They can be hiccups.  If it feels like a heart beat its hiccups. Later in your pregnancy you'll be able to identify better..
