Do I need to fast for abdominal B-ultrasound

Pregnant women usually go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examinations regularly, because B-ultrasound examinations can effectively detect some conditions of the baby in the belly. Moreover, B-ultrasound examination is also a very mature repeated examination. Every pregnant woman will find different surprises when doing B-ultrasound examination. However, there are some precautions when doing B-ultrasound examination. So do you need to fast before doing B-ultrasound examination?

Do pregnant women need to fast for B-ultrasound?

unnecessary.

B-ultrasound for pregnant women is different from ordinary physical examinations. It mainly examines the uterus and its appendages to understand the health of the baby in the uterus. You only need to hold your urine before the examination to keep your bladder full so that you can see the situation in the uterus clearly.

Therefore, pregnant women do not need to be on an empty stomach when doing B-ultrasound.

Can pregnant women eat while doing ultrasound?

Can.

Pregnant women can eat before having an ultrasound, because ultrasound does not check the pregnant woman's stomach or blood, so pregnant mothers can eat with confidence and don't starve themselves.

Do pregnant women need to hold their urine when doing ultrasound?

You need to hold your urine in early pregnancy. The uterus of a normal woman is located deep in the pelvic cavity, and she needs to hold her urine to keep her bladder full so that the uterus and appendages can be clearly seen through ultrasound.

Before a woman is three months pregnant, the embryo is not very large and the uterus is relatively small, so she still needs to hold her urine during an ultrasound examination. After three months of pregnancy, the fetus grows larger and there is no need to hold urine during ultrasound examination.

At this time, it will be more difficult for pregnant women to hold their urine.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when doing B-ultrasound

1. When going to the hospital for examination, it is best to wear loose and easy-to-put-on-and-take-off clothes and shoes. This can save time and also help the pregnant mother relax her nervous mood.

2. Try to relax as much as possible during the examination and cooperate with the doctor. If you are too nervous during the examination, it may affect the effectiveness of the examination.

3. Do not eat foods that easily produce gas, such as milk, sweet potatoes, etc., before having an ultrasound, because this will hinder the penetration of ultrasound and cause unclear imaging of the examined organs.

4. If there were any problems with the last examination, you need to consult in advance about what preparations you need to make before going to the hospital this time.
