Hey mommies so I went last week to the Er they drew some blood but the last kinda messed up while putting the needle in and ever since I left from there I've had this on my arm. I thought it was gunna go away but it hasn't and it's hurting my arm.
I don't know how I would go about this.
Have any other moms been through this.
It is where your vein didnt seal off when they took the needle out so it bled into your arm. Which caused this nasty bruise. Itll take time for it to go away. This happened to my ex best friend but her whole forearm was purple from the bend of her elbow down to her wrist.
Yes my last pregnancy when one lady took my blood she went through my vein and it caused the same thing. It hurt more than normal when she was taking my blood, I assume she was new or learning. It hurts but it should heal up and go away. It just looks really ugly for awhile, by 2 weeks mine was gone completely.
