Feeling heartbeat of baby

[samarth_24]

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. I am in my 32nd week.

Hi there.  Actually, we all (pregnant or not) have a pulse in our abdomen because there is a major artery that runs through there. If you are feeling something that feels like a heart beat, it is your own through the pulse of this artery.  We can not hear our feel our baby's heart beat.  Hiccups, when a baby has them, feel like . . . well, hiccups. That distinctive hic pause hic pause.  But the beating like a heart is from your own heart through the artery. Arterial pulse.  good luck

Hiccups

I can see my stomach pulsing I time to my heartbeat and when I lie on my stomach I can feel the beating of my heart. SO crazy, but it's definitely your heartbeat. There is a ton of blood being pumped to your uterus and your abs separate too so it's even more apparent.

I'd say it's probably hiccups. I know when he gets the hiccups it feels just like a heartbeat.

You can't feel your baby's heartbeat.

You could be feeling your placentas pulse. Sometimes when my stomach is tight I can watch my entire stomach pulse

Oh ok. Good to know. But I just read in Google that it's actually your own blood flowing in your uterus with full force. God knows what it is exactly.

When my little one gets hiccups it feels like a heartbeat. A constant lil thump. Might be that as well :) I'm 33 weeks

Hi. Thanks for your revert. I too think so but even our heartbeat cannot be that low. So you too are feeling the heartbeat? Don't know what it is :-(

I've been thinking I could feel a heart beat as well. I think it's our heart beat. Because it's so slow if it was babies it would be super fast. But that's just my guess idk.
