Patient's question:
My wife has been pregnant for over a month and is going to the hospital for a prenatal check-up today. Hello, do I need to fast for the 42-day prenatal check-up?Doctor's answer:
42-day prenatal check-up requires fasting for thorough blood sugar, blood pressure, blood routine, liver and kidney function, urine routine, ECG, echocardiogram, and fetal ultrasound examinations. During early pregnancy, it is advisable to take folic acid and vitamin supplements, avoid long-term overtime work, consume more fresh fruits, and maintain ventilation in the temporary residence to prevent excessive emotions. Moderate sun exposure can also help promote the healthy growth of the baby.
