iS THE SUPPOSE TO BE A HEARTBEAT iN YOUR TUMMY?

Answer 1

yes. it is easy to feel a pulse in your stomach. Personally, mine moves up and down while i am laying down, especially when it hurts. You are most likely a tiny person, and in simple terms, everything is just compacted together so you can feel the pulse stronger than others. You are fine!

Answer 2

The heartbeat in your tummy is probably your aorta. The main artery that runs through your abdomen from your heart. Rarely, a bounding aorta could be a sign of an aneurysm, a weak place in the wall of the vessel, sorta like a knot on a tire. If it keeps being very noticable all the time, (its normal for you to notice it sometimes, like when your lying on your stomach maybe), I would maybe just call the doctor and ask if its anything you should be seen about...Explain to them if you feel it all the time, or if it seems to be a really "pounding" sensation frequently...

Answer 3

The simple answer is no, not unless you're pregnant.... Seriously, the places where they usually find a pulse (evidence of a heartbeat) are ones like the wrists, the neck, the space behind the knees, anywhere arteries are superficial enough to be felt. If there is a sensation like this in the abdominal area, it could indicate something like an aortic aneurysm, which is an abnormal widening of the largest artery in your body and must be carefully watched. Normally there aren't any arteries in the abdominal region that are close enough to the surface to be felt by anyone, be they the "owner" or someone else. (Your abdominal aorta is usually very deep within the body, and unless you're exceedingly thin, you're not going to feel it.)

Answer 4

Yes there is a major artery that runs through your stomach. If you push down hard enough you will feel your Pulse there. If you are feeling the heartbeat of a baby then it will be way faster then your own. Besides, it takes special instruments to detect a fetus's heartbeat.

Answer 5

After weeks of not looking pregnant, you may suddenly find your waist is expanding and your clothes are becoming uncomfortable! Some women begin to "show" around 15 weeks, while others have no visible tummy until 20 weeks or more. By choosing loose-fitting tops and pants with elastic waists, many women find they can put off buying maternity clothing until they are about halfway through pregnancy. This can help limit the need for multi-season maternity clothes!
You may also notice that you are starting to gain a few pounds, especially if you find food more appealing now than you did during the first trimester. Expect to add about 1/2 to 1 pound each week during this stage as compared to the average of 3 to 4 pounds gained during the first trimester. This pattern should continue throughout the rest of your pregnancy.


Is your tummy growing faster than expected? Are you much hungrier than normal? Do you have a feeling that there's a little something extra going on? You might be having twins! Multiple pregnancies are more common today than ever before, and are especially likely in women who are over the age of 35 or those who have used infertility treatments or medications. While your maternal intuition and larger than expected tummy might be clues, your physician will want to listen for a second heartbeat. An ultrasound examination is the ultimate diagnostic test for multiple pregnancy.

I've heard that women are more susceptible to cavities and dental problems during pregnancy. Should I see my dentist?
Good dental care is important for everyone, and especially during pregnancy. Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels that occur with pregnancy can affect how a mother's body responds to the bacteria responsible for causing oral infections. In addition, frequent meals and snacks can leave more plaque deposits on your teeth, which can lead to cavities. Dental care is especially important for pregnant women who already have periodontal (gum) disease. There is evidence that periodontal disease in pregnancy may increase the risk of preterm birth. The American Dental Association recommends that all pregnant women brush their teeth thoroughly with fluoride toothpaste at least twice daily, floss at least once a day, and schedule regular dental visits and professional teeth cleanings. Be sure to tell your dentist you are pregnant and avoid x-rays in the first trimester.

Your unborn baby's developing teeth are important, too. Tooth development begins between the third and sixth months, so it's essential to get the proper nutrients in your diet. Poor maternal nutrition can lead to hypoplasia, a condition in which a baby's teeth have too little enamel. If the enamel does not develop properly in the unborn baby during pregnancy, there is a higher risk for tooth decay when the baby's teeth begin to erupt after birth. By eating a healthy diet and getting regular dental care, you and your baby can have beautiful smiles.

Answer 6

It is your pulse. You won't be able to "feel" your baby's heartbeat. I have had the scare and the doc explained it to me.

Answer 7

Yes. You have a major bloodline there--your abdominal aorta. This will give a strong pulse in your abdomen.

Answer 8

Your pulse can be heard and felt throughout your entire body. Are you asking us if you are pregnant? Go to a doctor.

Answer 9

lol, what an odd question, im sorry but I have no idea, you dont have a heart down there do you? You might feel your pulse though!

Answer 10

Pregnancy has nothing to do with it. You can feel a pulse in your stomach. You have major blood veins going through there. You're going to feel that. Don't listen to any of them.
