Is the fluttering in the abdomen at nine weeks of pregnancy the baby's heartbeat?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is the fluttering in my stomach at nine weeks of pregnancy the baby's heartbeat?

Doctor's answer:

The abdominal tremor is unlikely to be the fetal heartbeat. It could be something else, possibly your abdominal aorta, which beats in sync with your heart. Try eating more vegetables, fruits, and protein-rich foods.
The mugwort plant has a close relationship with the lives of Chinese people. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people often place mugwort in their homes to "ward off evil." The dried stems are soaked in water and used for steaming to achieve disinfection and itch relief. Postpartum women frequently bathe or steam with mugwort water.
