Can women eat before a complete blood count test?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. May women eat before a blood routine examination?

Doctor's answer:

Just a simple blood test does not affect the results of drinking water or eating. The blood test for a complete blood count (CBC) uses capillary blood, and there is no need to fast. When you go to the hospital for blood tests, any test that requires less than 0.1 milliliters of blood, such as a complete blood count, blood type, platelet count, hemoglobin determination, and malaria parasite examination, can all use capillary blood. There is no need to fast for any of these tests.
