An Apple Watch has reportedly been credited with spotting a woman's pregnancy before she was even aware of it. According to a Reddit post by a woman, her Apple Watch notifications made her believe that something was wrong when it showed that her average resting heart rate had dramatically climbed over the prior several days.

"Usually, my resting heart rate is about 57 and my heart rate has increased to 72. It's not a big jump, but it showed up on an alert that it's been higher for 15 days. I started trying to figure out why," the 34-year-old woman wrote on the platform.
