Patient's question:
My wife has been pregnant for over a month. Today is her first prenatal check-up. Hello, is it required to be fasting for the first prenatal check-up?Doctor's answer:
If you haven't had a prenatal examination yet and this is your first prenatal check-up, the initial pre-examination requires fasting. The basic examination items for the first detailed check-up include an electrocardiogram, blood condition assessment, liver and kidney function tests, as well as tests for syphilis and HIV. For the first prenatal examination, you need to go to the hospital on an empty stomach. You can decide to bring a little food with you. After the fasting examination, you can promptly digest.
