Patient's question:
Do you need to fast for prenatal examinations at 20 weeks? What projects need to be done during prenatal examinations? What is the nutritional meal for pregnant women usually like.Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy check at 20 weeks does not require fasting. Blood can be drawn for serum screening of Down syndrome, and 2D color Doppler ultrasound can be performed for major malformation screening. Blood routine and urine routine tests can also be conducted to check for anemia and proteinuria. Pregnant women should maintain a balanced diet with proper distribution of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The diet should be light, with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and foods rich in protein and vitamins.
