could be the baby!

When I was pg with twinnies my tummy looked well weird!

i used to call it swampy!

I can see the pulse in my belly when I'm lying on my back. Really weird! The kicks are different, there's no rhythm. Just random movements.

i get that aswell Laura.
I showed the OH last night and he was well chuffed, as he can't feel it moving yet.

The best way to know if its babys heartbeat is to find the rhthym (sp?) of your own HB and then watch the rythm of the movements, usually they are out of sync, so you'll know its baby moving or its HB.

One of my first pregnancy symptoms (although I didn't know it) was that strong pulse. It was the same rate as mine, so I figured it was my pulse that I could feel, but kind of like a tummy palpitation due to the increased blood flow. Pg women are more prone to palpitation's without it meaning anything awful simply due to the increased volume of blood in our bodies.
