Can You Feel the Baby's Heart Beating?

I'm 18 weeks but can't tell if I'm hearing things or not. So far I haven't felt the baby yet but when I put my hand over the bulge I could swear I feel the baby's heart beating. It sounds faster than my own.

Does anyone else feel the baby's heartbeat through their tummy?

Is that possible?

nope, but I can occassionally feel my own (it's easy to tell apart, since the baby's pulse is twice as fast...)

I always was able to feel my own pulse in my abdomen...I never attributed it to baby's heartbeat though.

I feel my own pulse when I touch my belly. If I lay down and look I can also see it moving with my heart beating, its really weird.
I know its way too slow to be the babies' hb.
