Patient's question:
Because my period hasn't come for a long time, I'm a bit worried, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The result was that I was already pregnant, and I need to do a detailed check-up next month. I'm also not very clear if this requires fasting. Is fasting required for prenatal check-ups?Doctor's answer:
How pregnancy check-ups require fasting depends on the specific content of the check-up. If you are undergoing a first comprehensive and detailed check-up in early pregnancy, or if you are having screening tests such as the Down syndrome screening or gestational diabetes screening, fasting is required. However, if you are undergoing MRI scans, such as a 4D color big dislocation screening, NT screening, or MRI in the late stages of pregnancy, fasting is not necessary.
