A member asked:

Is a pulse below in your stomach an indicator that you are pregnant? blood pressure is normal and so were blood test results. chest x-ray was fine.

Probably not: Even when the baby is quite large, its not possible to feel the baby's heart-beat. What you are probably feeling is your Aorta. This is the large artery that comes from the heart and supplies the entire body with blood. It splits into two arteries just below the belly-button. In some people, especially if they are thin, it is possible to feel the pulse from the aorta in this area. Best wishes

A pregnancy test: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. There is no reason to try and guess if you are pregnant based on certain symptoms. you can have an answer in minutes with a home test.
