nipt test

how much blood did they take when you got your nipt test? i don't do well with blood being taken and at my first appointment when they took a lot of blood i felt like i was going to pass out and throw up for a good 10-15 minutes after (she also had a hard time finding my vein and had to dig in the second time which didn't help). i'm having the test done this week and i'm wondering if it's a less amount of blood than they take at your first appointment or what

edit- my first appointment they took around 5 vials i believe. and not my first pregnancy but i didn't get the nipt test the first time. and the lady that took my blood in my first pregnancy was really good so i never had any issues, but this lady..not so much. i wish i could "get used to it" but unfortunately this is how it's always been for me.

If this is your first pregnancy you might as well get use to it cause this won’t be the last time you’ll get your blood drawn. My niece is 17 and pregnant and she freaks out with all the stuff I tell her which good hopefully she don’t do it again lol

I had my NIPT collected at the same time as my other first trimester labs. It was one tube.

Idk what blood they drew your first appointment but for my nipt they took 12 vials of blood, so yes I’d say it felt like a lot
