Patient's question:
I was supposed to go for a prenatal check-up this morning, but something unexpected happened, so I couldn't make it. Can I go in the afternoon?Doctor's answer:
Preparing to go for prenatal check-up, if the blood test is not required, it is usually perfectly fine to go in the afternoon. However, if there are blood draw procedures involved, it is best to go in the morning. Most blood draw tests require fasting, at least for eight hours. If you go in the afternoon, you may experience hunger, which could easily lead to low blood sugar. The above suggestions can be used as a reference.
