Do I need to be on an empty stomach for a 30-week pregnancy checkup?

1. After 30 weeks of pregnancy, a B-ultrasound examination is generally sufficient. You can also do a blood test to see if you have anemia. No need to be on an empty stomach.

You can communicate with your doctor in advance.

Why do you need a pregnancy test?
