Pulse test for pregnancy in early pregnancy

Pregnant women sometimes don’t know it themselves, but it can be diagnosed by a Chinese medicine doctor through pulse diagnosis. Traditional Chinese medicine relies on observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation for diagnosis. In the past, medicine was relatively backward and there were no advanced medical instruments and equipment. Pregnant women could be diagnosed based on changes in their pulse in the early stages of pregnancy. The pulse of a pregnant woman is different from that of an ordinary person. Chinese medicine calls the pulse of a pregnant woman a slippery pulse, which is characterized by a pulse like beads, flowing smoothly. This means that the pulse is like a round bead, rolling back and forth.

Understanding early pregnancy can effectively increase home care for pregnant women and reduce the response of women's physical symptoms. However, due to different female friends' different body immunity, the response to early pregnancy phenomena is also very different. To understand it scientifically, is there any change in the pulse in the early pregnancy? Does your pulse change during early pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, the pulse is generally slippery, and it feels like touching small sliding beads. This needs to be felt by a doctor. Since the heart load increases during pregnancy compared to the non-pregnant period, the heart rate of some women will increase slightly during pregnancy. However, everyone's basal heart rate is different, and the heart rate is affected by many factors such as body temperature and mood, so the pulse changes will be different.

Changes that occur in pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy: 1. Changes in the belly: As the fetus grows, the belly gradually becomes larger and the burden on the body increases. 2. Pulse changes: The pulse increases by 10 beats per minute and the breathing rate increases. 3. Heart rate increases by 10 to 15 times. 4. Metabolism: Metabolism accelerates: 5. Metabolic rate increases by 10% to 25%. 6. Changes in the uterus: The uterine muscle fibers become thicker and longer. 7. Breast changes: Breasts become larger and softer, and the number of milk ducts increases.

The nutrients needed for the growth of the fetus come from the pregnant woman. Pregnant women must get enough nutrition from food to meet their own nutritional needs and the growth and development of the fetus. Pregnant women should eat appropriately, 25% more than usual, but should control their food intake appropriately in the late pregnancy to prevent overnutrition, because eating too much can lead to indigestion, gestational diabetes, and pregnancy-induced hypertension, etc., especially excessive fat can easily cause dystocia during delivery. At the same time, we must prevent malnutrition in pregnant women, which is mainly caused by severe early pregnancy reactions, picky eating, or dieting due to fear of affecting their appearance.
