First trimester blood panel: How many vials?

Question

I always pass out during blood draws and have my 8 week panel tomorrow with what looks like a million tests on there. I can’t remember how many vials it was last year with my son, since I passed out. Also, I have zero visible veins. Any tips?

Answer

Update: 9 tubes, I didn’t pass out, but i did warn them in advance and they had me lay down. Appointment tomorrow with my ob to see the results and have another ultrasound.

Answer

My 1st tri blood draw was 8 vials. The genetic screening for downs etc was only 1/2 vial.

Answer

9 or 10 vials but I am high risk.

Answer

I only had 2 vials ramen. Doc said it would be 3 if I got the genetic test done. I’m low risk so based off all the other comments they must take more if your high risk.

Answer

I just had mine done the other day and they only took 4 but I didn’t get any genetic screening done just the basic test to make sure I’m healthy.

Answer

2 for me at 12 weeks

Answer

They took 7 vials, but 2 of them were smaller. I did all the genetic testing they offered too though. 
Maybe if you tell the nurse they’ll have some tips or something to help you.

Answer

I would tell them you pass out so they can be prepared. With this pregnancy they took at least 6 for sure.

Answer

I did not have a doctor or anything of such during first trimester but with my second trimester i had 7

Answer

I wanna say they took about 8 for me but I was also new to the clinic and I was high risk from day 1
