My belly pulses in time with my heart rate

[jessmke]

Why can I see my pulse in my belly??? It's so weird! Is it the placenta that I can see pulsing?

No it's just that you have a lot more blood flow, I don't have the best explanation other than there has to be more blood flow, you can also see the same pulse in a heavier person, i remember seeing my mom in the hospital for surgery once and I could see the same thing happen on her stomach
