The Apple Watch has already been credited for potentially saving lives a number of times now. But the latest report talks about how the smartwatch helped a woman discover her pregnancy even before clinical tests.
This story was shared by a 34 year old woman who shared her story on Reddit. The Redditor claimed that the smart wearable product began alerting her about the increase in heart rate in the past 15 days. The warning message stated that her resting heart rate is about 57, however, it has since risen to 72 in the past couple of weeks. While this jump in heart rate isn’t immediately alarming, she began looking for the reason behind this noticeable change.
She first thought it was due to COVID-19. However, the test came back negative. Following this, she even found an online article that stated that female heartbeats usually increase in the first trimester of pregnancy. Thus, she got a pregnancy test done, which came back positive. So, the woman went to a clinic to get a proper confirmation, with the doctors there also confirming that she was four weeks pregnant.
This came as a surprise since the woman said that she did not experience any pregnancy related symptoms because her pregnancy was still in its early stages. However, the Apple Watch managed to find that her elevated heart rate was being caused by another entity within her body. She credited her smartwatch for the discovery and urged Apple Watch users to pay attention to the heart rate notifications.
