My dadi keeps saying you can tell pregnancy from the pulse, like the old method. i was curious if theres actually anything to it or its just a myth. anyone tried this for fun?
I totally understand how eager and anxious you must be feeling right now, sweetie. But checking the pulse is not a reliable way to find out. Please take a home test or do a blood test so you get the accurate, beautiful news!
Haha, if checking the pulse worked, my grandmother would have been my gynac! Honestly, just spend 100 bucks on a test kit instead of trying to become a CID agent with your wrist. Save your energy for when the baby arrives!
Before my test, I felt my heart beating so fast out of excitement and tried checking my pulse too. But honestly, I felt that only a proper home kit test gave me the real confirmation. It is much better to just test.
When you are hoping so hard, every little thing feels like a sign. However, pulse checking isn't scientifically proven, so please wait a bit and take a proper urine test. Sending you my heartiest prayers and support.
I actually tried checking my own pulse after reading some old wives' tales online and panicked when it felt completely normal. Later I realized it's all a myth! A simple home kit is the only way to know surely, don't worry.
I can't speak on the science of it, but in my case, checking my pulse didn't show anything different at all. I only got my confirmation through a standard home pregnancy test kit after my period was delayed by 5 days.
While your heart rate can slightly increase during pregnancy, checking your pulse manually cannot confirm a pregnancy. Doctor advice is best here: wait for your missed period and do a proper urine or beta-hCG blood test.
