I'm Currently Feeling:  | Uterine Artery?
Ok so I read somewhere that if you are experiencing palpable uterine artery pulsations that you are pregnant. It is when you can feel the artery pumping. Is there any truth to this?
I feel that. it is below my stomach but above my bladder. It feels like a pumping something....but I can feel it without my hands. I am sitting here right now and it feels like there is a pumping vessel there. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | This sounds really interesting if it's true! But isn't it just your own heart-beat which you can feel in various parts of your body, your wrist for example? It'd be cool if this is true tho! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Have done my customary 2-min research (sorry you will get used to this- i am a google addict and did a stint as a librarian once!!!! ) and found ta-da...
(important part in bold)
The objective of this study was to determine if palpable uterine artery pulsation is a reliable clinical indicator of pregnancy at less than six weeks' gestation. A preliminary, nonblind study involved 299 women. Of 31 women who were at less than six weeks' gestation, 24 had definite uterine artery pulsations, and 7 did not. Of 268 nonpregnant women, 256 did not have pulsation, while 12 did (P < .001). Because other clinical parameters could bias the interpretation of uterine artery pulsation, a second, blind study was undertaken. During it, 155 patients underwent bimanual examination only, and no other clinical information was available to the examiner. Of 25 women at less than six weeks' gestation, 19 had definite uterine artery pulsation, while 6 did not. Of 130 nonpregnant patients, 121 did not have uterine artery pulsation, while 9 did (P < .001). Palpable uterine artery pulsation seems to be associated with early pregnancy, and physicians should add evaluation of pulsation to their clinical armamentarium
Yay!!!! Good on ya gal! xxx |
