Do you need to hold your urine for the first prenatal visit?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
This Wednesday I'm going for my first prenatal check-up. I was wondering if I need to hold my urine for the first prenatal check-up?

Doctor's answer:

If you are pregnant for the first time and need a thorough examination, you should first have a color ultrasound examination to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy before focusing on getting pregnant. The color ultrasound examination can be divided into a vaginal ultrasound or an abdominal ultrasound. For an abdominal ultrasound, you need to hold your urine. If you have a vaginal ultrasound, you don't need to hold your urine, and this will depend on your personal preference. Generally, more people choose a vaginal ultrasound because it is faster and doesn't require holding your urine. If the examination is normal and there is a fetal heartbeat, you will need to establish a medical record to enhance prenatal care.
