You cannot feel baby's heartbeat by touching your belly. The things you feel is simply gas and in later weeks you can feel movements but never heart beat.

You cannot feel baby's heartbeat externally without a monitor as the uterus is a thick protective muscle and there is also amniotic fluid which forms a cushion. Between week 18-24 you should start feeling baby's kicks more often and this you can keep track of. If you are feeling apprehensive then it's fine to go for a doctor's visit to reassure yourself.

No you cannot. there is just too much in the way for you to feel.
