to ask if you can see/feel your pulse in your stomach??

[whyareallthegoodnicknamestaken]

Just been laying here freaked out! I can feel my heart beating behind my belly button
Is it normal??

Yup. It reminds me a bit of when I was pg and I could feel baby moving.

I also get it in my leg, behind my eye, and sometimes my wrists.

You are feeling your aorta - the main blood vessel that supplies the body. It is about 2cm diameter so pretty hefty. If you are slim, this is quite normal to feel it!!

If you feel a pulse in your abdomen it could be an abdominal aortic anurysm. Get it checked out x

It's normal. Especially if you are thin.

Yes, when I lie flat on my back.

I can see it in my stomach sometimes, if I am lying down in the bath. Is that not normal?!

I can sometimes if I'm lying on my back. Your aorta runs down the midline of your abdomen, ( above your spine if you are lying on your back, not near your abdominal wall) you get a referred pulse through all your innards. It is a bit freaky.

Wowsers. I can't feel it! OH MY GOD I'M FAT!!!

I've been poorly recently and dropped down to 7 stone so I am pretty thin at the minute. Maybe that's why I'm feeling it?

I'm so bloody skinny I can feel my intestines when I lie on my back sometimes

Handy for pushing along trapped wind!

Is that what that is! Sometimes I have freaked myself out thinking it is a baby kicking when I know I can't be pregnant!

ffs don't google aortic aneurism!!!

I'm not skinny and I can see my pulse in my stomach and my wrists.

I get that all the time

Mine feels a bit vulnerable through my separated stomach muscles....

Sometimes when I'm in the bath I can see my pulse wobbling my belly.

From this you will gather I am not slim!

Yes, I can feel my aorta pulsating i my belly. I can also see and feel food moving through my intestines.

backward - it's too late, I googled! So, is it normal too see your stomach sort of pulsating if you lie down at look at it carefully? I can't actually feel it.

Something else to add to list of bedtime worries

Mine feels the same tellmetogetonwithmywork I feel like there's kind of a gap in my muscles behind my belly button and I can feel it pulsating
I did have an umbilical hernia while I was pregnant, I wonder if that cult have anything to do with it.

Oh dont google aneurysm! You are really unlikley to have an aneurysm unless you are an over 60 yr old bloke who smokes with high blood pressure. Young slim women? Not so much.

yes. can see my stomach pulsing too.

I have felt exactly the same feeling as a baby kicking before. And actually seen my tummy move! Very strange (but normal) dont worry!

I get this too but I think's it's my liver rebelling against all the wine (liver quiver)
