My dadi was saying there are ways to tell if you're pregnant by looking at your hands or pulse. Is there any truth to these traditional ways of checking for pregnancy?
I understand how eager and anxious you must be to know if you are pregnant, every day of waiting feels like a year! But checking hands or pulse is just an old wives' tale and can give you false hopes or unnecessary stress. Please wait for your missed period and do a proper kit test.
There is actually no scientific basis for checking pregnancy through hands or pulse. My doctor clearly told me that pregnancy can only be confirmed by checking hCG hormone levels in urine or blood. Save yourself the confusion and just get a regular kit test done.
I spent hours searching about hand checking and pulse tests online when I was trying to conceive! I got so anxious trying to feel my own pulse, but it's really not reliable. Better to just wait for the missed period and take a urine test so you get a clear, stress-free answer.
Oh, I know old people say they can tell by checking your pulse or look of your hands, but honestly, it's not accurate at all. When I was desperately trying to find out, my nausea was the real giveaway! Just do a home urine test or blood test, that's the only real way.
My saas also tried to check my wrist pulse and said I was pregnant, but honestly, we still went and bought a kit to be sure! It's a sweet old tradition, but don't rely on it. Just do a proper home test a few days after your missed period.
