well i was just wondering after the baby's heart starts beating can/would you be able to hear/feel a heart beat if you were to press down by your belly button, and if it's not a heart beat what could it be?????

If it is early in the pregnancy you probably won't be able to feel the baby's heart beat or feel it by pressing on your belly. I first heard my baby's heaertbeat when I was about 9 weeks pregnant. The doctor used a device called a doplar which can detect the heartbeat. It didn't sound exactly like a heartbeat because it is very fast - it sounded more like a swooshing noise to me - but it was incredible!
