I have decent veins to start with, but I've been in and out of the hospital soooo many times and have had a kazillion needles stuck into them once the nurses find the vein and stick it, my veins shrink.

I don't like to stick people over and over..none of us do! It's frustrating for nurses too! It's also frustrating to be put on the spot immediately when we walk into the room with hostile/frustrated patients and family members who are warning us with the "you will never find a vein", or "you get one shot at it" routine. I know it sucks to have bad veins, and it hurts to be stuck, but be a little easier on your nurses. Most of us know how to put IV's in and we do it well. :) Bad veins are hereditary.

I opted to let them try to turn her the first two times without pain medicine. It hurt like hell, so then I took the drugs, they tried (and failed) a 3rd time, and then I took a nice long nap!katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440454045238815812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-48205644626300820562014-09-05T02:33:11.187-06:002014-09-05T02:33:11.187-06:00"She said she wants it another way" - yo..."She said she wants it another way" - you will probably have to tell you that a lot in the years to come ;-)<br />Geez, you need to have a long, hard talk with your veins!!

Single. Time. <br /><br />And it sucks because most of the IVs I've needed have been because I'm having an anxiety attack. Which just makes everything worse.<br /><br />It's the biggest fear I have about getting pregnant. I know that sounds absurd, but I'm being serious. I don't know how I'll make it through a delivery between the IV situation and anxiety. <br /><br />Anyway. I'm loving this story. Can't wait for the next part.

She HATES needles with a passion as a result.<br /><br />When I was about 37 weeks along, my daughter decided to do one last flip. I was standing there chatting with a friend when her eyes got HUGE. I looked down and could see a small head sticking out the side and we watched it move all the way around until she was head down again. "That doesn't look like it feels good" she said. Not the most pleasant feeling that's for sure.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879162672311458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-58017303036432668742014-09-04T07:11:31.467-06:002014-09-04T07:11:31.467-06:00That IV really does sound terrifying.
