Yes. There is a rush of blood in the tissues that make up your vagina. What you might be feeling is when the muscles of the vagina contract. The uterus also undergoes rhythmic contractions.

The sexual response of both men and women is a cycle with 4 phases:
desire
excitement
orgasm
resolution
To complete the cycle, the phases are experienced in that order. The cycle can, however, be stopped at any phase. You don’t have to reach orgasm each time you feel the desire for sex.
Desire is an interest in sex. You may just think about sex, feel attracted to someone, or be frustrated because of a lack of sex. Sexual desire is a normal part of life from the teenage years onward.
Excitement is the phase when you feel aroused or "turned on." Touching and stroking feel much more intense when a person is excited. Excitement also results from sexual fantasies and sensual sights, sounds, scents, and tastes. Physically, excitement means that:
Heartbeat and pulse speed up.
Blood pressure goes up.
Breathing gets heavy.
Blood is sent into the genital area. (In a man, the surge of blood creates an erection, or a stiff penis.)
The vagina becomes moist and increases in both depth and width, like a balloon.
The skin of the genitals turns a deeper color.
Sweating may occur or the body may become warmer.
Orgasm is the sexual climax. In both women and men, the nervous system creates intense pleasure in the genitals. The muscles around the genitals contract, in rhythm, sending waves of feeling through the body. Most researchers do not believe that women release a fluid at orgasm, but men ejaculate (or release) semen when these muscles contract. Feelings of pleasure and satisfaction occur.
Resolution occurs within a few minutes after an orgasm. It is the return of the body to its unexcited state. Heartbeat and breathing slow down. Blood drains out of the genital area. Mental excitement subsides.
If a person becomes excited but does not reach orgasm, resolution still takes place but more slowly. It is not harmful to become excited without reaching orgasm, though it may feel frustrating. Some men and women may feel a mild ache until the extra blood leaves the genital area.
Men have a refractory period, or an amount of time following orgasm when they are physically unable to have another orgasm. This time tends to get longer as a man ages. A man in his 70s may need to wait several days between sexual encounters. Women do not have a refractory period. Many can have multiple orgasms, one after another, with little or no refractory period.

You actually have an artery right there... so you can feel the pulsing from that... since there is so much blood rushing threw your viens from the adrenaline.
