Pulsating belly??

bspaff

hey guys I'm 10 weeks yesterday and am having pulsating in my belly I can feel it and you can actually see it. Just wondering if anyone else is having weird things going on

Yes. It's your heartbeat, likely due to increased blood flow. For some people that is normal even when not pregnant.

Increased pressure from a growing uterus behind the inferior vena cava - that's likely your pulse in the major vessel from the heart to the majority of the body. Increased blood volume also helps make your pulse more apparent.

Thanks ladies!!! I knew it probably was normal but experiencing a MC in the past I'm a little nervous about little things

It's your aorta.

I am having the same thing, like I can feel something moving in there but it is obviously not the little bean as he/she is still way too small. It's a really weird feeling!
