Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1)First of all do not panic.
2) What you are sensing must be brisk and vigorous movements of the baby.When you are rest, and are able to address to baby's movements ,you will come to know about baby movement pattern. Also, baby movements are related to your food timings. You may feel good moments just before or after the food intake.
Usually baby also has sleep and wake up pattern. Baby can be at rest for 20 minutes to2 hours at a stretch and when awake starts making movements. The jerky ,brisk movements are felt like what you are saying as hiccups of baby.
I hope my answer helps you.
