Sounds like your baby has the hiccups. This is very normal and is helping his/ her lungs get ready to breathe air after birth :)

Either hiccups or your heart beat. You can't feel baby's heart beat.

It's normal, it's just a result of the increased blood flow in pregnant woman, it's just your heart beat through your veins
