Okay, I'm heading out now... I'm nervous about what they'll say! They told me not to eat. So, ultrasound at 9, then a blood test appointment across town, and then I can supposedly eat. But after the blood test, I still need to see the therapist at the clinic to get my sick leave extended or closed (I think they'll extend it), so eating isn't ideal either – I can't brush my teeth on the way, and the smell of a sausage sandwich when someone's looking at my throat... yuck... I'll fast a little. Anyway, wish me luck.
Есть тут библиотекари, кто работал во время беременности? Вас заставляли разгружать машины с книгами… I'm home now. Went for a walk, did some running... My ultrasound shows my little one is doing great…

Screening on an empty stomach?
Never heard of that before....

Tatyana Maybe they'll check something else in the blood, I don't know.

Tatyana Even when there's bleeding, they tell us to 'eat for sure'...
Oh well, never mind... in any case, 'everything will be okay'

Tatyana No, they're definitely taking blood today. Maybe they just added another test that requires fasting… they never explain anything, as usual. They said "don't eat" — so I won't. Thanks.

Wow. Good luck. My body would have rebelled and couldn't handle not eating that much during pregnancy.

Tanya I have almost no appetite because I'm sick. I only realize it's time to eat when my stomach rumbles. I think I'll manage.

Tanya Got it. I feel really sick. To the point of dizziness and nausea. And if it goes on too long, I think I'll even faint. Then I'm just out of energy for the rest of the day.

Tanya Well, I have plenty of fat reserves)))

A light breakfast is fine, unless you're having a blood test that's more than just a screening.

Tanya It's not about the fat, though. I have plenty of that too 😁😁

If I were you, I'd eat something after the blood test and before seeing the doctor. Otherwise, your breath might smell bad if you don't eat anything at all. Have at least a light snack, it doesn't have to be a sausage sandwich 😉. Gum is also an option for emergencies, just chew it before your appointment.

I was also told to come on an empty stomach, but that's stressful for me. If I don't eat right away in the morning, I'm guaranteed to have terrible nausea and vomiting all day 😒 But at the women's clinic, they recommended I bring a chocolate bar. I bought a big Snickers and didn't regret it 😅 Luckily, it's before the second screening, so I can eat in peace 🤗
