Patient's question:
I have a prenatal check-up tomorrow and I don't know what precautions to take. Hello, can I drink water before the prenatal check-up?Doctor's answer:
This requires an estimation based on your gestational age, as the prenatal examination items differ at different stages of pregnancy. If it's just a general routine prenatal check-up, which involves an ultrasound to understand the fetal growth and development, you can drink water and have dinner. The ultrasound doesn't have any specific recommendations for these activities. However, if there are blood tests involved, you need to avoid drinking water and eating dinner, as blood tests require fasting.
