Doc asked me to keep an eye on my pulse at home but didnt explain properly how. Im 26 weeks and dont have any fancy device. Is there a simple way to check it myself na?
I felt my heart racing sometimes during pregnancy, it's quite common. You can check it on your wrist or neck, just like normally, count the beats for a minute. But honestly, if you're worried about it, just call your doctor. They can tell you if it's normal or something you need to watch out for. Don't keep it to yourself.
Checking your pulse is pretty much the same as always, you can use your wrist or neck. But honestly, unless your doctor has specifically asked you to monitor it, I wouldn't stress too much about it. Your body is doing a lot of work, so a slightly higher pulse is normal. If you feel dizzy or something, then definitely tell your doc.
It's good you're paying attention to your body. You can check your pulse on your wrist, just like always. But please, if you're feeling unwell, or have any strong palpitations, chest pain, or feel faint, don't just monitor yourself. Call your doctor immediately. Better to be safe, especially during pregnancy.
You check your pulse rate the same way as usual, by finding your radial pulse on the wrist or carotid pulse on the neck and counting for a minute. However, your pulse rate naturally increases during pregnancy. If you have any concerns about your heart rate or feel symptoms like palpitations or dizziness, it's always best to consult your doctor immediately rather than self-diagnose.
The method is the same: find your pulse on your wrist or neck and count for 60 seconds. But really, unless your doc told you to, don't spend too much time worrying about it. Your heart rate is usually higher in pregnancy. If you're concerned or have other symptoms, just call your gynac. Quick phone call is better than stress.
Yaar, pulse rate check karna toh like normal only. You can put two fingers on your wrist ya neck, aur 60 seconds ke liye count karo beats. Actually, pregnancy mein thoda high side pe ho sakta hai due to increased blood volume. But if you feel any discomfort or anything, toh immediate gynac se baat karo. Don't take chances, haan?
