Patient's question:
Fetal monitoring is a simple examination, usually taking about 20 minutes for a general check-up, and it does no harm to the mothers, so there's no need to worry too much. Many women do not prepare properly before fetal monitoring, which may result in inaccurate test results. So, what should expectant mothers eat before fetal monitoring?Doctor's answer:
Before doing fetal monitoring, there are no special dietary requirements. You can follow your regular diet. Bread and milk make a good breakfast. It is generally recommended to eat light meals and avoid greasy foods. Many women perform fetal monitoring in the morning. In the morning, you can drink congee, have some vegetables and eggs, but don't eat too full to avoid affecting the examination. During fetal monitoring, if you find that the baby is not moving, it might be sleeping. You can gently pat your abdomen or gently sway to wake the baby inside.
