I have my first pregnancy scan coming up and I'm not sure if I should eat beforehand or if I need to fast. Can anyone tell me if it's okay to have breakfast before a scan? My appointment is in the morning.
Actually, you can eat, but if you have tests along with the scan (like fasting sugar or thyroid), then follow your doc's instructions strictly. Regular checkups and keeping track of reports is key.
Eating is totally fine unless it's a specific scan or if they asked you to keep a full bladder. When I had my scans before my C-section, I always had a light snack.
Best is to drink lots of water and eat a light home-cooked meal like poha or upma. Heavy food might make you feel nauseous while lying down for the scan.
