They'll just put a small needle in your vein (probably in the bend of your arm) It will hurt, but not more than a bee sting (and the pain doesn't even last that long!.) The best advice I can give you is to NOT LOOK AT THE NEEDLE!. I always look over and get queasy!. Just don't look!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi!. I'm a nurse and would like to explain the procedure to you!.
I think everyone is afraid of needles!. Why!? Because they are a little invasive and they do hurt a little!. However, the pain does not last very long, and you'll forget about it soon after it is over!.
Here is how they draw your blood!. The person drawing your blood will look at the inside of your arm, at the bend of the elbow!. That is where the veins are close to the surface of the skin!. The technician will find a vein that looks to be the best one to draw blood from!. He or she will then put a tourniquet, a piece of rubber tubing around your upper arm and make it tight!. It might be a little uncomfortable, but the reason they do it is to make the vein stand out more by blocking blood flow for a little while!. They will then clean the vein with some alcohol!. They use a very sharp, clean, disposable needle with a little hood like thing over the end of it, where they will place a tube to collect the blood!. They will then slide the needle into the vein!. Once they are in the vein, they will put a test tube over the end of the needle, under the little hood, and the blood will flow into the test tube by itself!.
Depending on what tests you are having done, they may need more than one test tube!. The tubes are small, and don't take much blood, so don't worry about losing too much!!
After they finish drawing your blood, they will put a piece of gauze over the place where they drew the blood and either have you bend your arm tight or press down on the gauze to make sure it doesn' t bleed!. Then they will tape the gauze down!. You can take the gauze off in a few hours!.
Sometimes you might see a little bruising!. Don't worry about that!.
You'll do great!! Just breathe normally, don't hold your breath, and don't watch if you're scared!.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!.!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't go into it thinking the worst and thinking about the pain :) you should be fine if you don't think about it!. The nurse giving you the blood test, should make you reflex and calm!. What they give you is a stress ball to make your arm flex so that you are ready and it won't hurt as much!. Just grip the ball with all your strength and it won't hurt as much!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
It doesn't hurt as much as you think it will my six yr old had to go for one and she was fine!. Yes it will hurt a little bit they will take a cloth and clean the area first then they will take a needle and put the end of it into your vein in your arm and there is a vial on the end that will hold the blood!. When it is full they might have to take another vial and fill it!. When they are done they will take the needle out and put a cotton ball over the tiny hole they make and then tape it over and you're done!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have a phobia of needles!. First things first don't look at it while they do it!. It feels like a little pinch!. If you look you will freak yourself out!. Make sure you ask for a BUTTERFLY needle!. It is thee smallest needle and you can barely feel it!. And make sure you eat something after words cause it takes a lot of energy out of you!. It won't be that bad don't worry!. It's nothing like getting a shot!. Do well(:Www@Answer-Health@Com
Im 30 and am still petrified of needles!.
They put the needle into your vein and the blood flows into the tube!.
There are a few things that help me when i go!.!.!.
If you havent got someone there with you for support (or even if you have) just DONT LOOK at what they are doing, turn your head away and take deep breaths, close your eyes!. They will tell you when its over with and when you can look again!.
honestly, its not so bad when you dont watch!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont worry i was going through the same thing not to long ago before i had surgery! i'm freakishly scared of needles to and they had to drawl my blood like 3 times before my surgery just close your eyes an look away try not to think about it!. if you stay calm an relaxed it wont hurt a bit barely even a pinch! but if you get worked up about it, it might pinch a bit! once its in though its cake seeing the blood come out is actually kinda cool and they dont take a lot!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The needles just stick you and it does not hurt!.
Only part I hate about blood tests are the giant rubber bands they wrap around your arm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
