No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's best not to eat anything. The triple screen is a test that involves drawing a pregnant woman's blood to measure the levels of alpha-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin in the mother's serum. It also takes into account the mother's due date, age, weight, and gestational age at the time of blood collection to calculate the risk of having a child with Down syndrome.
