My Nani always talks about checking pulse to know about pregnancy, but I'm not sure how true that is. Is there actually a way to find out if I am pregnant by checking my pulse?
Honestly, checking your pulse to confirm pregnancy is not a reliable method. The most practical and simple solution is to just buy a 50 rupees urine test kit from the chemist after you miss your period. It takes only two minutes and gives a clear answer.
While it's true that your resting heart rate increases a bit in early pregnancy, pulse checking cannot confirm anything. Save yourself the overthinking, wait for your period date, and use a regular home pregnancy kit. It's the only safe and reliable way.
My grandmother used to say that old-time vaidyas could check the wrist pulse to tell if you are pregnant, but it takes years of training. When I was trying to find out, I didn't want any confusion, so I just waited for my missed period and took a standard home test.
Arey, if finding out pregnancy was that easy just by touching the wrist, these test kit companies would go bankrupt! Don't try to become an ancient doctor at home, just pee on a stick like the rest of us, haha!
My mom told me that in olden days, people used to check the pulse rate because it slightly increases during pregnancy, but it's not accurate at all. It's much better and stress-free to just do a proper pregnancy kit test at home or ask your doctor.
