I'm 38 weeks along. I have a really hard time getting my blood drawn. I have extremely bad anxiety…

Does closing your eyes help you? Or having a conversation with the person drawing the blood while you look away?

@tahtahme I never tried it but I will this time. I'm almost close to 40 weeks I really need to get this done

Yeah I always take deep breaths and close my eyes...I also try to ask them a question about themselves or their lives or say something about mine so I am not thinking about it when I feel the prick. Luckily when they are doing bloodwork they only have to prick you once and fill up the viles from there.

Ask for the thinnest needle they have as well as the best nurse that draws blood !
