[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 384090, member: 3930"] I know your pain DJ! I have very tiny veins and they have to use the smallest needle. I always get stuck at least twice any time they need my blood. I've even been stuck in my feet. I was stuck 18 times to try to get an IV in when I was in the hospital to deliver my youngest son. They had everyone in the place trying to do it! It was ridiculous. There is one guy at my OB's office that can do it every time. I had bad experiences when I was a kid too having to get blood taken. One really crazy guy wouldn't let my mom try to distract me, he made me look at it and watch him doing it. I have never forgotten that. I am pretty ok with it now, but I don't like it and it causes me some anxiety because i know they will have a hard time. I feel so bad because I want to be there for him and I want to be able to comfort him - I just don't know if it will make it worse or not. Can you tell my anxiety is rising? [/QUOTE]
