chug sugar water so they find tons of glucose in my blood right away and don’t need to keep poking cuz i’m clearly tolerant to glucose? but then they might think I have gestational diabetes and want me to poke myself daily with insulin shots and blood tests! *sigh*
Forget it, I’m just not gonna get pregnant.

auntie cindy, when you get pregnant, i hope you don’t have to do the 3-hour glucose tolerance test. there are a minimum of 4 pokes! eek!!! when the time comes, mommy can give you tips on how to pass the 1-hour screening and avoid the 3-hour test.

*faint*
I have bad veins AND similar experiences. One time, the lady said (like 4th poke in, both arms) if she couldn’t find a vein that would give her what she needs soon, she was gonna go to my foot!
*faint, again*

auntie barb, if YOU were my needle lady, i wouldn’t have both my arms bandaged with gauze! and my pediatrician does have snoopy bandaids (you’re right, they made the owies from my shots much better ), but my needle lady was in a laboratory outside of my doctor’s office.

I am so proud you made it through your visit with the needle lady. I hate the needle lady, too…sometimes, I have to be the needle lady, but i promise I will never be YOUR needle lady! What is up with your doctor’s office not giving you cartoon bandaids and giving you those gauze things? The cartoon bandaids make the “owwwies” go away! You need to tell your pediatrician to get with it!
