Feels like my heart is pounding in my stomach... Baby Kicking??

It feels like my heart is pounding in my stomach right now....  I can normally feel the baby move (feels like somebody is tickling me from the inside).  But this is different.  I am 20w4d... should I start to feel actual kicks now?  Any idea of what this could be?

My lil man usually thumps around and squirms more than kicks. It is probably just laziness. I can't tell yet if it's hiccups he is so low and already in the birth position but I think he wakes himself when he is sleeping. If it feels like your hb it is more than likely the baby squrming around. Every pg is different! Congrats!

Yup, it is hiccups, I used to see my belly moving up and down all the time, Noah constantly had hiccups.

That's what it is?!  I thought it was kicks, but its hiccups?  that's cute!
I feel kicks but they're usually like tapping, this feels different its like pounding but not in a specific place.  And its not like moving that feels like a wiggle.

I smile every time I feel it... its awesome!  Elijah get's hic-cups all the time.  I didn't know what it was for a long time.  My midwife told me what it was one day when she was checking me.  She could see my belly moving... lol.  (  Like a pulse/heart beat.)
