Do I need to fast for the NT prenatal screening?

Patient's question:

Tomorrow I'm preparing to accompany my wife for a prenatal check-up. It needs to be checked carefully for NT. I don't know if it's necessary to fast. Doctor, is fasting required for the NT prenatal check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Please check nT mainly for color Doppler ultrasound. In this case, you don't need to fast or hold your urine. You just need to have this check-up within 6 days of your pregnancy between the 11th and 13th week and go to the local hospital for prenatal care. It is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups, drink plenty of water, enhance nutrition, get adequate rest, and take calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor.
