Is it normal to see your pulse in your wrist?

Hey Fluther,
I was taking out a splinter from my palm last night when a beating vein caught my eye in my wrist, just under my thumb.
I look at my other wrist and I can see it there as well but not as clearly and it depends on how I manipulate my wrist as to whether I can see it all the time or not. I’m trying to not fall in my anxiety-prone state and just ask first if others can see theirs. I’m fairly slim and the Dr mentioned once he could see my heart beat in my stomach, saying it’s not uncommon for slender types to see their heartbeats. Will ask the nurse just in case, but can anyone else see their heartbeat in their wrist? Thanks!
