Silly question...

When lying flat I feel a strong heartbeat below my navel (15 weeks and 2 days) ... Does anyone else feel this? May be hiccups.

I've seen it, seen my stomach pulsing sort of near the navel, when lying on my back.  If you're curious if that is what it is, when you see it or feel it, also take your pulse on your wrist and see if it coordinates with the movement in your stomach.

It might be your own pulse, there is a big vein in the abdomen that women can actually see pulsing, through their skin.
