I'm 13 weeks pregnant, and I recently had an ultrasound for NT. The report mentions that the placenta is forming anteriorly, with the lower margin covering the OS, and it states there's grade 0 AFI adequate. Could you recommend a good hospital for treatment and support throughout the rest of my pregnancy? I'm really hoping for a normal delivery. What should I be concerned about or do next?

Feeling your 3-year-old son's heartbeat by placing your hand on his chest can be a normal finding, especially if he's active and healthy.

Possible explanations:

1. Thin chest wall: Children's chest walls are thinner, making it easier to feel their heartbeat.
2. Normal cardiac anatomy: Some people's hearts are more prominent or closer to the chest surface, making the heartbeat more palpable.
3. Increased cardiac output: Active children may have a higher cardiac output, making their heartbeat more noticeable.

No cause for concern:

Unless your son is experiencing other symptoms such as:

• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
• Pale skin
• Dizziness
• Chest pain
