Someone in my building told me ki your pulse changes early when pregnant. Sounds a bit weird to me honestly. Is there any truth or just a desi myth? anyone actually checked this?
It's true that your heart works a bit harder during pregnancy, which can increase your pulse rate. But don't depend on it as a test. Just wait for your period date and do a home test for a happy, clear result!
During my pregnancy and even after my C-section, my pulse rate fluctuated quite a bit due to all the hormonal changes. But to find out if you are pregnant, a simple urine test is the only correct way to know.
I totally panicked when I saw my resting pulse rate shoot up suddenly and thought something was wrong with my heart. Later my doc told me it's normal in early pregnancy, but please don't use it to check if you are pregnant, just take a regular test!
Your resting heart rate can go up a bit in early pregnancy because of increased blood volume, but you can't use it to confirm anything. Only a urine pregnancy test or a blood test can give you a proper, reliable answer.
I just had my baby and honestly, my heart rate was all over the place early on, but I'd never rely on that! My Apple watch showed a higher pulse, but I only believed it when I saw those two pink lines on the strip.
