Got my first bruise...

Tr

From finger pricking! I’m a week into it and got too far into the pad of my finger 😞 I was wondering what fingers do everyone use to do their finger pricks? I have to do 4 a day and try to rotate but it seems they all hurt but my middle finger. I don’t do my thumbs or pinkies (tried a pinky but it hurt! Not enough padding I think) haven’t tried my thumbs, just felt I use them a lot and it would hurt. I know to prick on the edges/outsides if my fingers to avoid nerves but just feel like I’ll never get used to this. I only had one session with a dietitian, was shown once how to use my monitor and feel sort of thrown into it all. I’m being monitored by maternal fetal medicine and see them weekly. So far they’ve just made copies of my charts and haven’t talked to me about much so I’m guessing that’s a good sign? 34 weeks now 6 weeks left to go. I appreciate the feedback!
