I'm interested in hearing about this too. I have coeliac disease so I will need to get the kids tested. DS is complaining of tummy aches now and then so I think it's time to do it. How on earth do they get blood from little ones? ds has just turned 3, and I have no idea how I'd keep him still enough!

Oh gosh SareBear it was horrible
The silly pathology nurse explained to DD what she was going to do and DD just freaked out, started crying and didn't want to hold her arm still. The nurse is going "She needs to be completely still because if she moves while the needle is in her arm it can do real damage" and I'm like GREAT.
We ended up getting the receptionist to come in and hold her down and she just had to do it. When she put the needle in DD stopped carrying on and looked down at her arm curiously like "what's going on here?" and it was over before she even realised. When the nurse pulled the needle out, DD cried a bit and said it hurt at that point, but she was pretty good.
I reckon don't tell him what's coming.
