Hello! Booking in question...

[Amiesmummy]

Hello everyone,

Silly question as this is my second pregnancy but I've forgotten, do we have to do anything for booking in bloods?
Can I eat and drink as normal?
Thanks

Yup should be able to, nothing was advised to me at mine

Thank you, I couldn't remember having to starve but they check iron levels don't they? Apparently you shouldn't eat because it can give a false iron level?
My appt. is 2.30 so no chance I could go so long without food anyway! Xxx

No need to fast apart from if checking blood sugars x

No, I'm fact I was told last time to make sure I ate so they could get an accurate reading of my normal daily function
