Blood work rant

Definatly sick of getting my blood drawn. Im 10w 6d and at my last appt at the begining of the month they took 6 tubes of blood. This morning they took two more. Really hoping they dont need to take anymore anytime soon i hate having blood drawn.

Also tired of the blood work!!

Im 11W2D and my first appt was to confirm pregnacy& questions.
Second appt was blood work, more questions, info on breastfeeding/binder of info.
My 3rd appt was today; more blood work to check for down syndrome/abnormalities. (agreed at last appt  ) more questions.
FINALLY my 4th & next appt this tuesday will be about the baby only. We get to hear the heart beat. ❤

My midwife told me at my 28week appt that it would be the last time taking blood unless there was something wrong, then I'd have to have it retaken at my next appt afterwards.. But I'm from the UK so it may be different.

When pregnant with my daughter I had it drawn every time I went in. I was sick a lot too. This time I just did the one time and they took 6 tubs and I asked if they would rather fill up a bag lol.
