How long after pregnancy can you use a breathalyzer?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How long after pregnancy can an alcohol test be used?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, you can do an early pregnancy test around day 35 of a missed period or have a blood HCG test 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After conception, it's important to rest and maintain good nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be done. Starting from the first day of your last menstrual period, you can check if you are pregnant. An ultrasound is not effective for detecting a pregnancy in the first month, but a color Doppler ultrasound can be used. Urine tests may give incorrect results and are not always accurate, which is why blood tests are also conducted. A double-check with ultrasound is recommended.
