Pulsing sensation

So, bit of an odd one but looking for some reassurance.
I'm 21 weeks tomorrow, and last night I felt what could only be described as a pulsing sensation around the opening of my vagina.
Not painful, just odd. Lasted on and off for 5 minutes or so then disappeared.
It happened again today whilst stood in the kitchen, again on and off for about 5-10 minutes.

What's going on!? Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

The baby has probably hiccup!

I think it could be hiccups too. Mine has been having them quite regularly now. The first time I was wondering what an earth was going on. The second time I was hooked up to a machine checking the baby's heartbeat after a procedure and the noise was so loud I panicked and the midwife said not to worry it was only hiccups. I think it's quite sweet now apart from if it's too low down it feels a bit odd!

Sounds like hiccups to me too. I used to feel them in the same place. Cute !

Doesn't sound like hiccups to me. Sounds more like a shift in the baby's position combined with blood pressure changes making you feel a pulse somewhere you don't usually feel it.

Pulsing suggests very regular beating sensation to me, not like hiccups. Where you felt it also isn't where I ever felt hiccps!
