How to feel pulse during pregnancy

Of course, most women want to know whether they are pregnant as soon as possible. After all, pregnancy is an unexpected, unique and wonderful process. The process of witnessing a child coming into this world is truly happy and very happy. There are many ways to judge pregnancy. How to judge pregnancy by feeling the pulse rate? Most people have a normal pulse rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute under normal resting conditions. The pulse rate of pregnant women usually increases by 10 to 15 beats per minute on a normal basis.

The determination, precise positioning and quantitative analysis of pulse diagnosis is to specify the number of sinking, floating, slowing and delaying, the upper and lower inches, guan and chi, and then determine the characteristics of the pulse diagnosis. When taking the pulse, the positioning of Cun, Guan and Chi must be accurate. First determine Guan. The area before Guan is Cun and the area after Guan is Chi. The pulse diagnosis of ordinary people is called "flat pulse", which means that there is pulse in the three parts of Cun, Guan and Chi, which is regular, comes and goes smoothly and gently, and is rich and strong. Generally speaking, women's pulse is slightly weaker than men's under normal circumstances. Chinese medicine believes that "men are based on qi, and women are based on blood." Modern scientific research has also confirmed that pulse diagnosis is related to preload. The preload of men and women is different, so the pulse diagnosis will also be different. The pulse diagnosis of pregnant women usually occurs around 6 weeks of pregnancy. The pulse diagnosis becomes slippery and strong or slippery and rapid, and the radial pulse is continuous when pressed.

Traditionally, Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis can determine whether a woman is pregnant. The slippery pulse that occurs during pregnancy is one of the important parts of Chinese medicine in determining whether a woman is pregnant. The book "Pregnancy and Childbirth Heart Method" written by Yan Chunxi in the Qing Dynasty emphasized: "When a woman is pregnant, her blood is retained and her qi is gathered, and the uterine cavity is full, so the Chi Yin pulse must be slippery and rapid."

"A smooth pulse means that the pulse flows smoothly and the fingers should be round, like beads rolling on a jade plate." When taking the pulse, if it is a slippery pulse, it will be like a row of bubbles, or a small iron bead passing through the ring finger, middle thumb and ring finger of the person's right hand in turn, at a faster speed, one after another. The slippery pulse is a strong tremor. Because the blood volume of pregnant women during pregnancy increases by more than 20% than usual, the pulse tremor will be stronger than that of ordinary people. It is the most obvious difference. Therefore, the pulse of pregnancy is generally a slippery pulse.

What are the symptoms of early pregnancy

Early pregnancy generally refers to the first to twelfth week of pregnancy. The time when pregnant women realize they are pregnant will be different. Some pregnant women actually realize they are pregnant in the first month and begin to take good care of the fetus, while some pregnant women do not realize they are pregnant until two or three months. So what are the symptoms of early pregnancy? Common symptoms include:

1. End of menstrual period

Generally, menstruation is not easy to come during pregnancy, so this is a more obvious symptom. However, some pregnant women still experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, so they need to be careful about whether it is uterine varicocele, ectopic pregnancy, threatened abortion, etc.

2. Frequent nausea and vomiting

Generally speaking, after the embryo is born, the body will produce a growth hormone that causes pregnant women to vomit, but the vomiting situation varies from person to person, so there is no need to be overly anxious when vomiting occurs. The diet should be dominated by light flavors and small meals.

3. Breast pain

As the body's female hormone levels increase, pregnant women's breasts will swell and become more sensitive. These signs improve significantly after three months of pregnancy.

4. Frequent urination and urgency

Frequent urination and urgency in early pregnancy will not occur immediately, but will gradually appear after the sixth week. This is because the test tube embryo is not too large before the sixth week. After the sixth week, the fetus gradually grows and gradually puts pressure on the bladder.
