Yes, it is bad if you eat before surgery.

You should have been asked not to eat 8 - 12 hours prior to your surgery. If you are going under <span>anesthesia</span>, the <span>anesthesia </span>paralyzes your entire body, and if you have ate, you might vomit which will cause difficulty breathing or even in some cases, death. If you are having surgery somewhere on your lower stomach, eating before the surgery may lead to infection. Overall, they want you to not eat for 8 - 12 hours prior to surgery only for safety. I wouldn't even drink water, because if you are put under anesthesia, there is an increased risk of vomiting.

Yes it is not good to eat anything before you have surgery because it can cause you to throw up and if that happens you can choke on it.

In the BLANK trimester the fetus goes through periods of sleep and wakefulness and responds to bright light and loud sounds.
Vlada [557]
In the second trimester the fetus goes through periods of sleep and wakefulness and responds to bright light and loud sounds. So the answer to your question would be the second trimester. This is because they are developing their senses already that is why the parent needs to take care of their baby inside.
