Ladies, at the clinic they told me to eat before the screening so the baby would move. But at a private clinic, they advised me not to eat, saying it affects the blood. Can you tell me, should I eat before the screening or not? I've gotten two completely different opinions from doctors. I think you eat before a CTG (I'm sure about that). But before the screening???

No, of course not, you have to give blood.

I ate 2-3 hours before my blood test.

It's not recommended before the blood test, so the blood doesn't clot, but it's necessary before the ultrasound. Definitely have some tea and chocolate too. So, the order is: first the blood test, then eat, drink, pop a candy in your cheek, and head to the ultrasound.

We have a requirement to give blood on an empty stomach. I just had my screening about an hour ago – doctor's consultation, blood draw, then you can have a snack, followed by the ultrasound and waiting for the results (here, they give you the results 2 hours after the blood draw).

You can't eat before giving blood. It's better to bring a snack for before your ultrasound.

Both times, the first screening specifically stated "strictly on an empty stomach," with the ultrasound before the blood test. I arrived at 8 AM, got my blood drawn at 10 AM, and could barely wait any longer.
For subsequent screenings, it didn't matter. For the CTG, if the baby is sleeping, they'll ask you to walk around, eat something, and suggest bringing a candy or chocolate bar with you.)

At the first screening in the prenatal care, they recommended eating a light breakfast, not overeating, of course. There was no requirement to fast before the blood test.

Blood work on an empty stomach, but it's recommended to eat before the ultrasound.

Blood test on an empty stomach. Eat a piece of chocolate before your ultrasound so the baby is more active.

You can eat something light and not fatty in 2-3 hours.

They told me I could eat) My blood was always drawn right after the ultrasound, which I had after lunch. How could I possibly fast? 😅
