I am 15 weeks and I am wondering if it is possible to feel the babies heartbeat if pushing on the abdomen. I have felt this twice.

mattie4 - 142 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) nope...you can feel it move...but you cant feel the heartbeat. They do say that as you get further along you can hear the heartbeat just by putting the ear to the tummy, but my hubby has yet to hear any of ours.

kaylasmommy - 142 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) you would not be able to feel the heart beat it could just be the hiccups or your pulse in your belly!

Baby3OnWay - 142 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) No thats just a pulse in your belly. My first pregnancy I thought I was feeling the baby but theres so much more blood flow. i was saddened when the DR told me that. I wish we had see through bellies so we ould just watch them grow hehe Congrats and good luck!

klasnaya - 142 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Honey thats your own pulse. I can feel mine too in my belly but its impossible to feel the babies.

brandi j. - 143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) No, you will not be able to feel the baby's heartbeat, it was most likely your own pulse. Congrats to you!

kater - 143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) it is far more likely to be the pulse of the uterus, as babys heartbeat can only be heard by stethoscope at around 25 weeks, and at 15 weeks, can be heard by the Doppler (a much more powerful device)

Laura Ward - 143 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I thought I felt that also, and asked my doctor. It actually turned out that I was feeling my heartbeat the first time (I was 16-17 weeks the first time) and then they think the second time I felt it, I could have been feeling the umbilical cord pulsating (I was 35 weeks the last time I felt it)
