Feeling a Pulse During Pregnancy? Understanding What You Might Be Sensing

Question
When your pregnant do you feel the heartbeat, if so where would you feel it? Every day when I lay down I put my hand on my stomach and it like a  or something that I feel...basically I feel things just pumping like a heart.

Answer
Hello, Taylor,

You won't feel the baby's heartbeat. It would run around 150 bpm, so you can time the beat you feel and see if it is your own. There are places on your body where you can feel your own heartbeat. You'd have to be able to touch a baby's body directly to feel his heartbeat.

Have you been to the doctor yet? If not, please go! I hope you are pregnant, because any alternative would frighten me. But you need to make sure.

Take care.
