If you're pregnant, your acupuncturist may be able to tell by feeling your pulse. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each organ has its own pulse, and the pulse of a pregnant woman's uterus is said to be especially strong. The acupuncturist may also look at your tongue, which can give clues about your overall health. For example, a pregnancy tongue may have a thicker coating than usual or be redder than normal.
