Do you feel your own heartbeat in your belly?

awraffo · November 2013

Can you tell I'm a FTM? I know we have a LOT more blood flowing through our bodies right now, so naturally the heartbeat is more noticeable. Just wondering if anyone else can feel their HB in their belly. At first I was thinking it was baby moving, but soon realized it was my own HB. Hope this doesn't make me sound cray cray!

I can too! It's strange but I notice it anytime I'm relaxed.

Bluebird2318 · November 2013

I can too, but not always. Usually when I'm relaxed and focused... Which is a pain in the butt because me being relaxed and focused usually means I'm trying to feel the baby!

) Never works out anyway; it's still to early for me to feel baby when I want to. Still way too random. Booooo!

Yes from the outside when I put my hand on my belly.

Yep! I feel my heartbeat by my belly button all the time! Sometimes, when I'm laying down, you can see my stomach move!! A few years ago I started noticing it and I asked my Dr. at a regular physical just to make sure I shouldn't be worried. Now it's annoying because sometimes when I feel baby kick, I'll tell DH to try and feel but all he feels is my heartbeat!

Rrrrrachel · November 2013

I do! I can see mine, too.

britt33 · November 2013

Yes! And before I felt her move on a regular basis, I would sit and focus and try to feel her and all I could focus on was my pulse. Haha. Now that she is such a wiggler I can distinguish between her and my pulse.

Random weird fact: I hate the feeling of my

Yep. I notice it most when I'm trying to be still and quiet. It's obnoxious at times - like when I'm trying to fall asleep!

SeattleMomma · November 2013

I noticed this two days ago. I thought I was going crazy as well. Haha

TiffSee1789 · November 2013

Yepp!! Sure can!

rtv3 · November 2013

Yup, I can feel it. So weird!

Mrs550 · November 2013

Yes!! I can see my belly move too. I can also feel/hear my heart beat in my ear when I lay on my left side. It's annoying.

Isn't the heartbeat you feel in your belly the blood in your placenta/umbilical cord? That's what I thought...

That's what I was thinking. Not sure though.

Rrrrrachel · November 2013

I think when people say heart beat they mean pulse.

charlyp86 · November 2013

It's cause your aorta runs down the middle of your torso to your tummy. I always used to feel it pulsing when I would lay out on my stomach

J&NL · November 2013

I noticed this too last night. Strange!

Pandamom14 · November 2013

It's your abdominal aorta. Also if you press kinda hard with your fingers you can feel the pulse in your over stretched fingers.

rbrouillard · November 2013

Yep!

OhMamaB · November 2013

I'm a FTM too and still haven't felt the baby move...every time I try to concentrate to see if I can feel it, all I end up feeling is my own pulse/heartbeat. Ugh! Someday!

Rrrrrachel · November 2013

I had the ear one last night, super annoying.
