A common but difficult question in tarot is the subject of pregnancy. Many women want to know excitedly if it will happen, and this can put us in a difficult situation, because sometimes it is not always good news. Other times, in a reading on another subject, we may be surprised to find a pregnancy.
How do I know if I am pregnant with the tarot?
There is no single reading to know if you are pregnant with the tarot. For this we can use different spreads, if it is a specific consultation, the ideal is to use a spread with which we feel comfortable, our favorite, which gives us more results, for example a spread of 3, 5 or 7 cards. For example: The 3 card spread.
Now also, it often happens that pregnancy is announced in other types of spreads, and later we will see how to recognize them.
The reality is that pregnancy predictions are very difficult. There are cards that can indicate childbirth, pregnancy losses, the sex of the baby, health problems, and even reveal what the future child is like.
Experience and practice will allow us to realize and differentiate clearly.
