A member asked:
Is everything okay with my baby's heartbeat? i felt something like a heartbeat at 8 weeks then again at 12 wks. it only lasted a few seconds.

Fetal Heart beats: A pregnant mother cannot feel a fetal heart beat ever. This is impossible. But, there is a flutter sensation that are the first signs of fetal movement. As the fetus grows those movements are described as 'kicks'. But it is not possible to feel a baby's heart beat.
