Anyone else horrified of needles? EMLA?
Of course I am going to get all my bloodwork done and everything to ensure a healthy pregnancy, but I can't get over my fear of needles!! I was just wonder if anyone else is pregnant and has this fear. It doesn't matter how much I look away or try to "suck it up," I still freak out. It's the anticipation of that initial prick that gets me... I've never had blood drawn from my arm that I can remember. Only finger pricks and flu shots.
I have my first prenatal appointment on Wednesday and they will be drawing labs. I do have EMLA cream to use, but has anyone ever used this for blood draws? Just wondering if it works? I wish I didn't have this fear, but I can't seem to get over it.
