What does a pregnant pulse feel like?
We’re Looking For Balance – As with many things in Traditional Chinese Medicine it is a balance that we look for and try to help you to achieve. The pulse should not be too fast, too slow, too deep or too thin. And, it’s promising when we see changes over time.
- One example of when we see noticeable changes in the pulse is in pregnancy.
- A woman’s pulse may be thin and soft as she prepares for conception (we are using Acupuncture and herbs to pump it up), when she becomes pregnant the pulse gets quicker, a little stronger, and can start to have a slippery feel to it.
Later into the pregnancy, the pulse should start feeling even bigger, fuller, faster and more slippery. As labour gets closer the pulse may start to have a choppy rough feeling to it. Pulse taking is just one of the ways we work out your Chinese Med pattern & tailor our treatments to just suit you! Questions? We Love them! Feel free to ask us about what we’re feeling in your pulse next time you’re in.
