Feeling heartbeat of baby

Hi. It seems as if at times I feel something like a heartbeat on my stomach,left side corner. Can it be a heartbeat? I tried counting it as well but in a minute it comes around 35-40. Little worried as anxious about what it is exactly. Plz help.

That's why the movements are less and slow. Also the baby sleeps more during this time of pregnancy
So don't worry at all. It's all normal. Good luck :-)

Dear me too in my 32nd week. About to touch 33rd. I too feel the same what you are saying. Actually my doctor told me that the baby is big and your womb is small now for the baby
That's

I'm 32 weeks and seems like baby sleeps all day and moves just a little during the day. At night time she moves some after I eat. I'm worried that she doesn't move enough. When I do feel her move its just small little kicks/punches. Is this normal? Seems like she is so calm and only moves a little.... This is my first so I wasn't for sure.

If your small it is posible to feel the baby's heartbeat  
I started to feel it when I was about 23 weeks along but was not sure what it was I tried to reaserch and got no clear answer. then it happened at the doctors office and she confirmed that's what i was feeling  since then my mom and dad have both been around when it happens and have been able to feel it as well.
I'm now 36 weeks along with a healthy baby girl who gets hiccups all the time. You will be able to tell the difference.
Last week I got to feel and see her practicing breathing
It's all so amazing and continues to surpise me but also gives me peace of mind knowing she is healthy and doing what she needs to to get ready for her big debut.
