Can you eat before an ultrasound examination?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: 2 months pregnant, need an ultrasound examination. Can I eat before this test? What are the precautions?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, B can be performed after 45 days of pregnancy to check the development and implantation of the gestational sac, and to rule out ectopic pregnancy. There are no specific contraindications for undergoing a B examination.
Before an abdominal B examination, drink 400-600 milliliters of warm water 1-2 hours before the test to ensure the bladder is full before the procedure. If the patient needs to undergo both digestive and urinary examinations at once, it is best not to urinate in the morning on the day of the test. This way, the bladder can be filled without needing to drink water. You can eat before the B examination as long as you hold your urine. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning or the afternoon. Wishing you good health.
