Patient's question:
Do you need to fast for the first prenatal examination? Besides fasting, what else do you need to prepare for the first prenatal examination, and what should you pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The first prenatal examination requires fasting. Generally, the first prenatal examination is performed within 13 weeks of pregnancy. It involves creating a maternal health record, confirming the last menstrual period, and estimating the due date. The first prenatal examination requires blood tests to check blood routine, blood type, liver and kidney function, blood sugar, hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis. The pregnant woman must bring the ID documents of both partners to the first prenatal examination. These tests cannot be performed without fasting in the evening. After the test results are obtained, you need to establish a perinatal health record and undergo regular prenatal examinations.
