Hi ladies

I had my booking in appointment yesterday at my house. The midwife has told me to make an appointment with a nurse at my doctors for my first lot of blood tests. I forgot to ask whether I can eat/ drink normally beforehand or whether I need to fast. Does anybody know?

Thanks

Normal bloods, normal eating.

It's only specialised tests (which you may not need at all) that may have a fasting regime beforehand, and if that's the case you will be given plenty of info about it.
