Blood work

I'm about to go get blood work for all the tests & things they need to check, are we not supposed to eat before we do it, I mean I know you're not supposed to but I didn't know if it was different or mattered for pregnant women?

They took 6 tubes :/ I just brought some chocolate with me so I could stuff my face right after, then I got some McDonald's :) but thank you ladies. I starved myself all morning anyway just incase...

I didn't have to fast. I was told to bring a snack because of the amount they take for the first set.

I had my blood work done for all my tests and they let me eat. They said what they were testing it didnt matter. I know if you go get your cholesterol and certain other things thats when you have to fast for the 12 hours

Usually if they are doing anything fasting your Dr would have told you.
