Do I need to fast for the first prenatal checkup?

When a woman is pregnant, she needs to know the development of the fetus in time, so she needs to have regular prenatal check-ups. If she does not have prenatal check-ups, some unsafe factors cannot be discovered in time. If she has regular prenatal check-ups, she can find problems early and make timely treatments to minimize the harm. So, does she need to fast for the first prenatal check-up?

Do I need to fast for the first prenatal checkup?

The first prenatal check-up will generally measure blood pressure, weight, urine test, etc. The prenatal check-up items will be determined based on the specific situation of the pregnant woman. Therefore, it is recommended to go on an empty stomach and bring your own breakfast during the first prenatal check-up.

What is the process of establishing a prenatal check-up card?

Step 1: Register

1. Queue up to get a pre-examination number (it is best to go before 7:00, as there will be a lot of people if it is late.) 2. Register (If you are accompanied by family members to create a card, it is recommended that the family members queue up at the registration counter first to save time) Step 2: Waiting for treatment 1. After registering, go to the obstetrics outpatient clinic on the first floor and wait. There is a weight scale in front of the seat. Weigh yourself first and remember the number (the nurse will ask you later).

2. When the nurse comes, give her your medical record card, filled-in form, registration paper, and small card.

3. When the nurse calls your name, she will ask about your weight (refer to step 2, step 1), height, and measure your blood pressure.

4. Then sit at the door of the obstetrics initial consultation clinic corresponding to your card and wait (wait for the doctor inside to call your name).

Step 3: See a doctor

1. The doctor will ask about the relevant information (medical history, etc.) according to the contents of the form you filled out previously. 2. If you are 14 weeks pregnant, the doctor will ask for your opinion whether you need to check for Down's syndrome (note: checking for Down's syndrome is voluntary). If so, fill out a form and sign it.

3. After the doctor finishes the questioning, he/she will go into the inner room for examination.

The items include: listening to fetal heartbeats, measuring pelvic width and gynecological examination, as well as measuring the width from the belly to the back with the person lying on their side.

4. Next, the doctor will give you a flow chart of the examination to build a big card, and prescribe all the words that need to be checked to you, and ask you to come back after the examination.

Step 4: Check

1. First go to the cashier to pay for all the items required for the card inspection.

Through the above introductions, pregnant mothers should have some understanding of the prenatal examination process. Every prenatal examination is to know whether the fetus is in good condition in the mother's belly. After each prenatal check-up, the doctor will inform you of the necessary preparations for the next check-up, so there is no need to worry too much. As long as the fetus develops healthily, it's fine. Every monthly prenatal check-up is different, so just consult your doctor in advance and follow his instructions.
