Does prenatal blood test require fasting?

Patient's question:

I am already pregnant for several months, and I need to prepare for a thorough examination now. Do you need an empty stomach for the prenatal blood test?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, it is necessary to have an empty stomach for a complete blood count test. On the night before the test, avoid eating excessively greasy foods or foods high in cholesterol to prevent any impact on the test results. Pre-pregnancy blood tests are the same as regular blood tests and also require an empty stomach. For specific details, you can consult the hospital for more information.
