Pulse in belly?

Is anyone else feeling a pulse in their stomach? It's really low down, maybe 3 inches below my belly button and I've never felt this with any other pregnancy. I can't tell if it's me or placenta?

    If it's slow then it's you. I can watch my pulse by laying my phone on my belly.

    Yep, if I'm watching my stomach for kicks, or resting my hand on my stomach I can see and feel it. It's been like that for a couple months now. I just assumed it was because of the increased blood volume during pregnancy.

    I assumed it was my placenta, I looked it up a bit ago and the internet did say that could happen with an anterior (which I have). I have never before in my life seen my pulse in my stomach so I'm going to go with placenta.

    I can see and feel my pulse in my stomach. DH actually struggles to tell the difference between baby kicks and my pulse at first. I have a posterior placenta, so it's definitely not my placenta. I've assumed it's just increased blood flow and the vessels in my stomach being pushed outward by my growing uterus.

    Yup. As a FTM i just assumed it was normal? 
    My midwife says i have a low lying placenta so maybe thats why?

    Ultrasound tech said it was the aorta.
    It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*

    It is the aorta, I can always feel mine and can see my pulse pregnant or not. My placenta is actually posterior.

    I have also always been able to feel my heart beat in my stomach, even before pregnancy. Now it's just a lot more pronounced.
