How to check pregnancy with fingers?

Question

I've heard some older women in my family talk about trying to check for pregnancy using fingers. Is there any truth to this? I'm curious if this is a real method or just an old wives' tale.

When I was trying, I felt like trying every trick to know early. But honestly, using fingers is risky and won't give any proper answer, please wait for the urine test.

I know we get so impatient to know, but inserting fingers is not safe at all and won't show anything. Just wait for your missed period and do a regular urine test.

Is that even a real thing? I am also planning my pregnancy but I feel a simple strip test from the medical store is much safer and easier to do.

Please do not attempt this. Checking the cervix manually can introduce bacteria into the vagina, leading to infections, so always stick to standard urine and blood tests.

I totally understand how anxious you must be feeling to find out if you are expecting. But please don't use your fingers as it can cause infection and harm, just use a home test kit sweetie.

I didn't even know people tried checking like this, is it safe? I am currently pregnant and my doctor only did a proper urine and blood test to confirm.

Rohini Rao · Answer

While home tips are great, checking with fingers is not safe at all because of infection risk. Better to wait for a missed period and then use a normal test kit or see a doctor.

Deepika Rawal · Answer

My doctor strictly told me that checking the cervix with fingers can introduce harmful bacteria and cause infection. The only reliable methods are a urine test or a beta hCG blood test.

Behan, finger se check mat karo, infection ho jayega toh pareshaani badhegi. Chemist se ek chota test strip le aao, wahi sabse badhiya hai.

Vijaya Hegde · Answer

Yeh sab mat karo please, finger test se infection ho sakta hai. Buy a simple 50 rupees urine test kit from the chemist, that is the only right way.
