Feeling your pulse beat hard.

mmbaby32 · April 2011

Does anyone else feel their pulse beat hard. It's like anywhere there is a pulse sensation it's beating hard and strong. Makes me feel weird. I don't like it. I guess it has something to do with the blood pumping???

That's exactly what it is!! Your body is in overdrive pumping blood to you and LO. I like feeling that when I feel nothing else to remind me I'm pregnant.

What's quite a condundrum though is that my acupuncturist is forever telling me my pulse is weak. Tongue Tied

Yes, it's actually quite intense sometimes. I find it gets worse when I sit still for too long, too.

Mine was really strong earlier. Not necessaruly faster, just harder. I blame it on having my 1 soda of the week.

Yes! My pulse is out of control lately! And when I lay down at night and think I might feel the baby move inside, I can't distinguish between it and my crazy pulse!

It's weird to me too how you (or at least I) can feel my pulse so strong on my stomach. My husband had his hand on my stomach the other day and was amazed at how he could feel my pulse on it..

Sometimes it is so strong that I can see my eyelashes pulsing and it freaks me out cause I feel like my eyes are gonna pop out of my head.

Maybe I'm weird, I find it kind of soothing and relaxing.

I thought I was the only one!! It is so strange, especially when I feel it in my belly!

This! I actually posted something similar earlier today, I could've sworn the baby was kicking like crazy last night but I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest at the same time.

I don't like the feeling at all, it feels like a panic attack starting.

Oh my gosh! I thought I was being overly sensitive or something. But yeah, totally makes sense why all my regular pulse points would feel so much stronger. Every once in awhile I try to lay still to feel for any baby movement (I really can't wait for the first movement!), but all I can feel is the giant pulse in my chest and my tummy. So glad I'm not the only one... and that I understand now!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Just once in a while all of a sudden it feels like I was just running a lap or something, except it's not actually beating any faster, just harder.

I only notice it at night when I'm laying still hoping for baby movement. Unfortunately I feel it the most under my belly button lower part of my uterus so its distracting.
