Today was the dreaded Rhogam shot.  PLUS I had to drink the orange drink for my glucola testing (for gestational diabetes). I hate giving blood and last time I had a blood test they took 7 viles. Last appointment I thought was the glucose testing and started getting teary before the doctor/nurse even came in and here it was next time. Sooo I was scared for nothing.

You have to understand. I can take vomit, poop, even blood, grossness like that, but when it comes to blood that is coming out of me by way of a needle or a needle for shots, I am very uncomfortable with that. “It’s just a little pinch…” I hate that phrase. To me, a little pinch hurts like a mother! Before you continue to judge me, maybe this or this will shed some light on my low pain tolerance.

But I was pleasantly surprised, neither hurt as much as I thought, and since I got the Rhogam in the hip, I didn’t even see it. It’s a little sore now, but I’d rather have that than one more case of Sinusitis this year.  (I’ve had 5, if you were curious). And the orange drink wasn’t as bad tasting as they said. It was like really sugary Sunkist. Sickening, but do-able.

Now if I can get past the fear of how much giving birth will hurt, I’ll be all set! 87 days to go!!
