I don’t handle bloodwork very well.....help!

Amanda

Hello! I’m 5+4 with my first pregnancy. I’m a big baby myself. I’ve always had severe anxiety with getting bloodwork done. I get super panicked and dizzy and have fainted in the past during tests.

I’m more freaked about the blood tests than the idea of giving birth. Crazy, I know. I’m hoping this experience will get me over my phobia.

I’m looking for any and all suggestions to help me through this. Of course, I don’t look, and I request to lie down. Has anyone ever battled this? How can I help myself?

Thanks from the baby carrying a baby.
