It is not reliable to determine pregnancy by checking your pulse. While some changes in heart rate can occur during pregnancy, they are not specific or consistent enough to confirm pregnancy.
Key points to consider:
-
Pulse changes: Pregnancy can cause a slight increase in resting heart rate, but this varies widely among individuals and can be influenced by many other factors like stress, activity, or illness.
-
Reliable methods: The most accurate ways to confirm pregnancy are through home pregnancy tests that detect hCG hormone in urine, or a blood test and ultrasound performed by a healthcare provider.
-
When to test: If you suspect pregnancy due to missed periods or other symptoms, taking a pregnancy test after a missed period is recommended.
-
Consult a doctor: For confirmation and prenatal care, visiting a healthcare professional is important.
In summary, checking your pulse is not a dependable method to tell if you are pregnant. Using a pregnancy test and consulting a healthcare provider are the best steps to take if you think you might be pregnant.

I'm feeling a bit concerned and confused. Our gynecologist recommended this 'suggest 200' medication after a cervical scan showed my wife has a low-lying placenta at four months pregnant. I've read that taking this isn't usually advised during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this? Is it safe, and should we be worried about potential effects?
Progesterone tablets are used in pregnancy to support embryonic implantation, prevent preterm labor and miscarriage, and manage pregnancy-related conditions, typically prescribed at 100-200 mg daily from week 2-12 of pregnancy.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant with twins and I don't really feel any symptoms or feel pregnant at all. On top of that, I've caught a cold and I'm sneezing a lot. I'm really worried if everything's okay with my babies. Do you think they're safe or should I get another ultrasound? I had one done just 4 days ago. What do you think?
the lack of pregnancy symptoms at 5 weeks and the presence of a common cold are not usually causes for concern in a healthy pregnancy, especially if your ultrasound 4 days ago was normal. try toStay Calm,self-Care: Prioritize rest, hydration, and a healthy diet to support your immune system while you recover from your cold ,Keep up with your regular prenatal appointments and any prenatal vitamins or supplements recommended by your doctor. If youre feeling very worried, dont hesitate to reach out to your doctor for peace of mind.
