Morning Drizzle, but Clearing later| Dimmed |
| I forgot what it was for but I had to have an IV put in my hand for the first time after all of that because they couldn't get my veins. They tried three times in my arm and had to use my hand. I think that's when I had the Flu B during my first pregnancy. It was absolutely terrible and more painful than a normal IV |

| Yeah. Had to get blood work every 3 months there for awhile. I started knowing the nurses by name lol. It just turns into a bit of a pain when they have to go fishing for a vein. Evidently, my left arm has smaller ones than my right. So...Good to know I guess |
| Dimmed |
| Oh yeah my arms look fine. The vein though is really hard to get to now, so I have to use my other arm most times which sucks |

| me when I had so many blood tests done for Lyme disease testing...and then military stuff...and fertility stuff... I've got the same little scarring lol although I'm pretty lucky I think and they're not super visible |

| I am hoping that if my husband and I decide not to have a second after this that he’ll get the good ole snip snip. My only real option for contraception is the pill and it still sucks. |

| It’s an injection most people in the DoD get at least once. Usually before boot. |

| I used to be fine with needles for IV and blood draws, but IVF left me with slight anxiety over it. They drew my blood in the same arm so often it's like it got scar tissue and started bruising badly. I looked like an addict 😅 now when I get blood drawn it makes me anxious |

| It's kind of moot point. It was two shots that did not bother me *at all*. The last one was seven years ago. And I have ZERO intention of ever being pregnant again. I have an IUD. There is the whole matter of a brain tumor that messes with my hormones and I had to take medication to get pregnant the last time. PLUS my husband has had the ole snip snip |
| Dash Warmbloods |
| Only needle that’s ever made me feel horrible was after the peanut butter shot 🤣 |
| Dimmed |
| You can buy blood type kits on Amazon lol I'm pretty sure that's where I got mine |

| I've been nervous about this pregnancy a bit. There's higher chance of issues with a second RH+ baby. I guess the risk is pretty low because I had RhoGAM for the first, but still nervous |
| Jericho Stables |
| Yeah, he's a wimp lmfao. He gets queazy when he sees the kids get a shot, lead test, etc |

| They can also use the opportunity for potential carrier testing if the patient is willing |

| It’s basically a single uterus that got split into two while I was in the womb, so they’re two small ones |
