Do prenatal urine tests require morning urine?

Patient's question:

Tomorrow morning I need to go to the hospital for a urine routine test. Is morning urine required for prenatal urine tests? Can I drink water?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, if you need to undergo a urine routine examination during prenatal care, generally any urine sample taken throughout the day can be used. It is not recommended to use a pure sample, and you can also drink water. You do not need to fast. For this situation, it is advisable to have breakfast before, as it would be better. During pregnancy, it is common to feel tired or hungry, so it is best to avoid overexertion.
