Does the system ultrasound require an empty stomach?

Patient's question:

Recently, I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. The doctor recommended that I have a systematic ultrasound, so I made an appointment for it. However, regarding this examination, I would like to ask if fasting is required for a systematic ultrasound?

Doctor's answer:

Performing a system ultrasound generally doesn't have any special requirements. There's no need to fast; just make sure the pregnant mother goes to the hospital at the appropriate time. It's recommended to eat a full meal before the examination, as the baby will be more active, leading to more accurate examination results. Wear loose and easily removable clothing. Also, maintain a good mood, as excessive nervousness can affect the baby's normal movements. Rest daily, avoid fatigue, maintain a regular lifestyle, and ensure sufficient sleep.
