I can literally look down at my stomach and see what looks like a heart beat. My stomach keeps moving up and down. Is this possible this early?

I'm just curious. Its not moving and then stopping. Its looks like a pulse.

Okay, if you are 32 weeks pregnant you are at like 7-8 months into pregnancy right? This is not early, your almost done. I'm not sure what kind of constant motion you are seeing but, I doubt if anything is wrong. If the movement is close to your navel and stationary, it's most likely YOUR heart beating not the baby's. There's a major artery that is just below your navel, when you are pregnant there is pressure on that artery. Check it out, find your pulse on your wrist, and if the pulse you feel on your wrist is the same as the movement you see on your stomach, that is what it is. Hope this helps you. If you would like more specific info feel free to email me and I will get back to you soon.

Babies get hiccups, you can get some contractions (which make the uterus seem to move), or the baby can stretch or push a foot and create the same kind of thing.
You've described "beating in one constant motion", but then you say your stomach keeps moving up and down (which isn't one constant motion).
It isn't the baby's heart beat either way.

Its the baby moving a foot, or his/ her body. you will never see a heartbeat, unless through a scan.
It is normal development for your baby to move about. I guess this ones the first.
relax, and see your midwife or health provider if concerned.

Yep its normal, but its your heartbeat :)
You can actually see it sometimes when you are not pregnant, if you are lieing down.
