I think my fear of needles is what makes me expect a bad re action from the boys. I can handle blood tests but the idea of a needle actually injecting something in to me (hurts more) I can't handle. Evan with the needle they give you after you have the baby to help the placenta out, I told the midwife, don't let me see you are goingto do it cuz I wont let you near me!

When I had a blood test to confirm my pg with Glenn I had a panic attack about the size of the needle she was going to use & would only let her do it once she had a smaller needle. That was the first time I reacted like that & it seems to have stuck with me. My fear of needles started when I was about 11 & needed a tetanus shot after burning my hand & I sear the Dr used me like a dart board & threw it at me. I jumped, it fell out & he had to do it again. He said by jabbing it at me the way he did, it doesn't hurt as much. But thats crap! I would much rather it be eased in.
