My saas keeps saying pulse changes when ur pregnant and she can tell by checking wrist. Is there really any truth in this or just purani baatein? curious if anyone tried.
Increased resting heart rate is a physiological response to early pregnancy hormones, but it has zero diagnostic value. There is no substitute for a Beta-hCG blood test or an ultrasound. Please consult a qualified gynecologist instead of tracking pulse variations.
I did notice my resting heart rate went up a bit, but honestly, my real first sign was craving spicy chole bhature at midnight! Pulse rate won't tell you much, so just wait for your period date and treat yourself to some ice cream while you wait. Good luck!
To be honest, tracking pulse rate is just a distraction from your busy schedule and won't give a real answer. Just order a home pregnancy test kit on Blinkit, take it first thing in the morning, and get on with your day. It takes exactly five minutes and is highly accurate.
I can't say if this is medically correct or not, but in my case, my smart watch showed my resting heart rate jumped from 65 to 74 before my missed period. That was my personal experience, but I didn't rely on it. I just waited for the home urine test to confirm.
An increased pulse rate can happen, but please don't use it as a real test. Also, if you are checking pulse, make sure you aren't drinking sugary sodas or heavy sweets to deal with anxiety as sudden sugar spikes can raise your heart rate too. Keep your diet clean from day one just in case.
My mother-in-law used to say that old midwives could detect pregnancy just by holding the wrist pulse. But scientifically, it's just your blood volume increasing, so please don't rely only on that. It is always best to visit your family doctor for a proper blood report.
While some people say a faster pulse is an old way to check, it's not very accurate. You can drink some warm cumin water to soothe your nerves if your heart is racing, but don't take any heavy herbs. Please visit a clinic if you feel dizzy or have a very rapid heartbeat.
My pulse rate was definitely higher, but the real confirmation was when my severe morning sickness kicked in at week 5 and I couldn't even smell ginger without throwing up! Honestly, pulse rate is too vague to rely on. Just get a proper urine test done for a clear answer.
Holding my baby in my arms today, I remember how desperate I was to find any small sign of pregnancy early on. Yes, resting pulse rate does go up slightly due to hormonal changes, but it's not a foolproof test. Your feelings of excitement and fear are so beautiful and valid, just hang in there.
Oh wow, is that actually a thing? My resting pulse rate has been around 80 lately and I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant, but I thought it was just my normal anxiety. Has anyone else actually tracked their heart rate changes throughout the first trimester?
Arey, checking pregnancy through pulse rate is not reliable at all and just a waste of time. Don't spend money on fancy pulse trackers, instead just buy a basic Rs 50 Prega News kit from the local pharmacy. Save that money for your first ultrasound scan which actually costs a bit.
My pulse rate was all over the place in early pregnancy, but we only confirmed it with a urine kit. Later on, my journey ended with an emergency C-section, and let me tell you, recovery is a slow process but you get through it. Don't stress your heart rate right now, just rest.
