Patient's question:
Do you need to fast for the first prenatal examination?Doctor's answer:
The first pregnancy test is best done on an empty stomach. Because the first prenatal examination requires blood tests, urine tests, and other examination items. If you eat anything within two hours before the test, it is very easy to cause deviations in the test results. Of course, it is not necessarily required to be on an empty stomach to check for pregnancy. If it is just to determine whether you are pregnant, then you can also do it without fasting. Because in addition to blood tests and urine tests, pregnant women also need to have an ultrasound examination. Through the ultrasound examination, it can be seen whether there is a gestational sac in the uterus. If there is a gestational sac, it means that you are already pregnant. If no gestational sac is found in the uterus, it means that the woman is not pregnant.
