A QUESTION TO ALL YOU SKINNY PEEPS

I was just wondering when you lay in bed do you feel your hart beeting in your stomach?
Mine beets so hard, it is crazy my stomach even moves up and down hard, is this normal????

no, I don't think that normally happens. I beleive I would have that checked out soon if I were you.

I can feel my heart beat in my stomach and others have said so on here as well.  But my stomach doesn't move.

I feel this also, but have never looked down to see if it's moving!  Will have to take a peak.  Should be easy since my boobs are completly deflated and lay all nicely to the side.

 I sometimes feel this as well, but not sure it moves up and down  

I have a heart beat in my tummy as well.  But I don't think mine beats hard...

It's normal! Even fat, I was able to feel it sometimes.. there's a major pulse point right near your belly button, now that I'm getting smaller, I feel it more- even more if I lay on my stomach!

If you smoke or  have a relative (particularly a female relative) who has had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), I would go get an ultrasound. Otherwise, it's pretty normal and nothing to worry about. 

The aorta goes right down through the abdomen before it branches off into the two femoral arteries that go down each leg.  The less belly fat you have, the closer the aorta will be to the skin. I'm pretty thin around the middle (pear shaped), and  I feel mine quite a bit while exercising and lying down. 

My dad who was obese and smoked died of a ruptured AAA at age  67; so,  it is of a bit of concern to me and one of the main reasons I had VSG, btw.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad, I used to smoke, I smoked for 22 years and its been a year this month that I havent smoked, I have never heard of what your talking about, does this AAA only happen when you smoke? I will have to look this up thanks

This happens to me all the time and I actually have a funny but not so funny story about it!! I was not feeling good one day and I looked at my stomach and noticed that every time my heart beat my stomach was moving with it.  So I showed my husband who is an EMT and I went straight to the hospital to rule out  an aortic aneurysm.  Of course I was 29 at the time so a little young for something like that....It was not thank goodness, but I did have an extremely high white blood cell count, and had to be hospitalized for 3 days.  And to this day you can see my heart beat from my stomach when i lay on my back.  I never saw it when I was heavy though.
