Heart beat in my tummy?

Hello sorry for all the questions lol but for the past couple days I've been feeling a heart beat in my lower belly & its not the same rate as mine. Is it baby? Or what does it mean? I feel it all the time & it kinda annoys me when it goes on forever & doesn't stop lol

Just wait until you're as far along as me (30wks) not only can I feel the baby from the outside you can see her sticking little feet and elbows out lol. My fourth baby and I still think that looks freaky lol. I can't remember when it started exactly but this week it's extremely noticeable.

You could also be feeling pulsating from your placenta and uterus,  sadly you can't feel baby's heart beat at any point

Its the baby's hiccups your feeling they feel like hearts beating but def hiccups. There would be no way to feel the heart from outside..

I felt her as at 15 weeks inside. But as asson as i hit 19 weeks one night i kept feeling it hard core. I kept thinking no.its gas or im thinking im feeling it a day kater i had my check up and i showed my doctor i did what i usually do and she felt it once and told me yup thats your baby shes really active i cried lol. Now i try and feel her at least once a day and i do. She moves so much! Does your baby move a lot?

Have you felt your little one move outside yet? I couldnt believe it so i had to show my doctor and she was positive it was baby moving and i could feel it outside. So exciting.

Ok.. unless you have been using the Doppler (to hear the babys heartbeat)  you wont be able to hear much less feel the babys heartbeat.  Its your own beat from where your pressing down on your hand or finger.

It's probably more likely you're feeling your baby with hiccups. ;-)
