There is a lack of scientific evidence for the statement “the right hand pulse beats significantly after pregnancy”.
Taking pulse is one of the methods of TCM to diagnose women’s pregnancy, for example, slippery pulse is the main pulse of pregnant women, which is characterized by fluent flow, smoothness of the fingers, like a disk walking beads, but since slippery pulse can also be seen in young adults, it is only used as a reference for the time being. And this pulse is usually the same in both hands, not only in the right hand, so the statement that “the pulse in the right hand jumps significantly after pregnancy” is false.
TCM practitioners do not only rely on the pulse to determine pregnancy, but also need to take into account the woman’s menstrual history, as well as the woman in the early stages of pregnancy due to the sudden deficiency of yin and blood, the lower aggregation to support the fetus, or impulsive qi upward reversal of gastric dysfunction (gastric dysfunction of the descending function of the stomach) and other reasons, there may be breast distension and pain, nausea and vomiting, or dry heaving, and some women even appear to have a significant change in taste.
In addition, nowadays, Chinese medicine practitioners have to rely on the results of Western medicine to determine pregnancy to ensure that there is no misdiagnosis, so if pregnancy is suspected, you need to consult a doctor for relevant examinations to clarify.
