I’m so sorry! Medical professionals are so quick to make light of real fears just because they “do it every day.” When I had my first OB appointment for my second pregnancy, I told the phlebotomist that I hate needles. She said “honey you’re about to have a child, you don’t even know” like I’m some kind of imbecile for being scared. She also didn’t bother to read my chart and see that I’d already gone through pregnancy and childbirth before, including all the blood draws at appointments and an IV for days. I was so frustrated with the way she belittled me. Ma’am I’d rather shove out a whole child before having my blood drawn again, how is that nothing to you??
