How to overcome Blood testing Anxiety: I.E: STD Testing..etc

I just found out that I'm pregnant with baby number three. I'm really nervous about the blood testing. No, I haven't been sleeping around with multiple men. I'm not on drugs. My health has been normal beside nausea and that could be due to morning sickness. I feel perfectly fine. That doesn't mean that I am. I'm hoping that I am fine. My worst fear is hearing bad news. I always had a big fear when it comes to blood testing. I'm scheduled for my first appointment tomorrow morning and I am scared. I know they will do numerous tests. I'm hoping that everything is normal. What can I do to keep calm and cope with this whole process?

If your last blood work for these tests were negative and you've been with the same person, not had multiple partners and don't share needles, then I would think your test results should be the same this time. Try not to worry.

I'm like that too. I have no real reason to be scared but I just always fear that I will get bad news,... But if u plan to keep the baby you have to do it.just try not to think about it, and get it over with.once yo do it, it will be done and you will just need to try to relax and wait.  It's better to be safe than sorry anyways. Most likely your totally fine and Once u do it you won't have to worry about again.
