Yes you can feel it beat in your tummy. The descending aorta turns into the abdominal aorta at about your belly button. You should be able to take a deep breath, suck your stomach in and feel your pulse by pushing in a little on your stomach just above the belly button. If you are feeling faint, weak, or that your pulse/heart is racing go see your doctor. If you feel normal you probably have nothing to worry about.

When I feel a tummy heartbeat, it usually means my blood sugar is too high/too low or I have just exercised hard. It is called the apex beat, and is a known medical phenomenon - neither normal nor abnormal (it just is). Don't know about the holding breath thing, though - never tried it.
