Different movements of the baby

Hello all,
I am a FTM and currently 25 weeks. As of now I feel my baby move but am unable to differentiate between hiccups and other movements like kicks. How do you guys do that?
I have read that hiccups feel more like a rhythmic flutter and are relatively weaker than kicks but I just don't know how to find the difference between them!  I don't feel anything different.
Any pointers?
TIA

I know with my first I could tell the hiccups from the kicks because the hiccups were more rhythmic (sp?). But I don't thinki could tell at 25 weeks. I'm 25 weeks now with baby number 2 and can't tell the hiccups from the kicks but he sure is plenty active lol

I was wondering if the difference of the few seconds (maybe 5-15seconds) meant they were kicks instead of hiccups?

I know when my baby hiccups and have done since 20 weeks even with my anterior placenta, there a lot weaker then kicks & there literally a fee seconds apart each time, whereas when my little lady kicks she takes a few minutes after each one before she kicks again
