Can’t for be life of me remember from my first and I can’t find any info online.

I have the 12 week dating scan and bloods today for the combined test. It’s not a fasted test, is it?

Nope, you’re good. Eat and drink as usual

No, do drink plenty otherwise it can be hard to take the blood if you are dehydrated.

I didn't even realise I was getting bloods done when I turned up for my 12 week scan. I had eaten and drank plenty and even been to the gym so I had a lovely big vein for her.
I think they reiterate in big bold letters when it's fasted.
