hun im just like you! Im TERRIFIED of needles!!! I had my blood drawn at 4 wks preg and when they go to stick the needle in...take a deep breath and let it out slowley...youll feel a little pinch, its not bad at all! When they did mine they put a rubber band thing around my arm (to make blood flow faster), i thought that was the worst part of it lol. But it really isnt that bad at all. you also will not feel a thing when they go to take it out of you. Youll get a little bruise later on probly from where they drew it, but it will go away within a couple days. Dont worry and relax!!! Let me know how it goes tmw!!

Not To Well Today I Went Into Another Fully Blown Panic.
I Am Trying Again Friday My Baby Doctor Is The Most Nicest Man Ive Ever Met And Even Gave Me A A free scan

It isn't that bad at all!!
Take it from someone who is terrified by needles too!
They MUST do these blood tests for your safety and the safety of your child!
What are you planning to do when it's time to get your child immunized? Are you going to freak out or are you going to be calm and teach your child not to panic like you?

This always helped me:
When they are about to stick you, make sure you have one of those rubber ball stress reliever things in your hand that they are taking blood from. SQUEEEZE like hell!

Before they stick you, start spelling random long words. You won't even notice hardly.

im good at helping other people have it done and im definatley going to have it i just need some tips and advice

i agree with marriane...maybe a stress ball would be good for you to use while they are doing it. Also take a friend with you to talk to.

Some people just have this much panic to needles and nothing that can be done about it. Sorry jodie!


To me needles are a breeze. I donate blood at my work and I get a nice check for it. Now that I'm pregnant I won't be able to donate .
