Im 38 weeks pregnant and i have the same pulsating feeling...it started in the last couple of weeks and it feels like a heartbeat but its slower and the pulse rythm is like five seconds apart... I think its normal cuz it comes and goes and does not happen very often in a day

Its 3am and Im having the same feeling too and i also think its too fast to be a hiccup and also too slow for a babys heart beat . Im worried :/ . But now seeing that other moms have had this too is a bit comforting

I heard that it could be nerve and tissue if you ever had c-section.

Hi, i had movements like you all describe and having googled it and read posts like this i felt reassured. At my midwife appointment at 9am the next day at 37+2 weeks my baby had died. I dont want to scare anyone but if you are unsure about something please go an get checked. It is now 4 months since loosing my baby and i would hate for someone to read a post like this a feel reassured. Reassurance should come from the hospital. If you have even had to google a concern you should call the Hospital even if what you read reassures you. I hope I am not being to strong, but I hate the thought of this happening to someone else.
At my postmortem the midwife said she had other ladies whose babies had died describe this same pulsating movement. Please just get checked immediately. Do not wait.
My little girl was called Thea-Rose. She was perfect. But my placenta failed suddenly and i never got to see her eyes or hear her cry. I had to say hello and goodbye al at once. Please, get checked out ALWAYS.

I’m experiencing the same so I shouldn’t worry about this?

It’s to do with blood flow. If your little one is squishing an organ or something it can make the blood flow struggle so you get that pulsating feeling. That’s why you usually feel it lower down or in places that your baby has just been moving around in. It’s like when you have your blood pressure checked, sometimes you can feel a throbbing/pulsating sensation because it’s where the blood flow has been cut off for a while and it’s finally recirculating. Nothing at all to worry about:)
