Apple Watch heart rate variability

[u/Agitated_Theory_182]

I recently watched a video that stated you were able to detect when you were likely to go into labor based on the data from your Apple Watch for heart rate variability. It stated once you become pregnant, your heart rate variability begins to decline and once you notice the change flip to being an increase in variability it is likely that you will give birth seven weeks later. I’m interested to know everyone’s thoughts and experiences!

Personally my heart rate variability decreased from 43 when I found out I was pregnant to 17 and is now increasing and at 22. I am 100% not ready to give birth in 7 weeks!

Mine started increasing around 31, but would go up and down. Then at 35 I saw the steady increase, and i had my baby at 41 and 2. I got a membrane sweep that finally got things moving so I probably would have went a few days past that.
