Pulsating stomach?

Before anyone says, it isn’t hiccups as my baby hiccups all the time and I’m very familiar with the feeling. My bump is pulsating.. as in, I can actually see my bump pulsing quite quickly and I can feel it when I touch it. Baby is moving around perfectly fine but what on earth could it be? It’s lasted 30mins so far! I’m 32 weeks as well

I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it is very normal.
It's always happened in my pregnancies and I know others that it's happened to too

Wow I'd forgotten about that! Had it in both mine too. No idea what it is but I can remember vividly now what it feels like! Maybe baby sat on a nerve or something? I'm sure someone will know....

It's the massive blood flow - your own heartbeat felt in the aorta

(You can only feel it when baby in a certain position I think)

Yes I had it too, totally normal for me but very weird!

Thank you! Glad it’s more common than I thought, Google just didn’t help much! I really need to stop being anxious about every kick and twinge
