They do use numbing cream before blood test but tbh, for people who have bad needle phobia (like me), I can feel all the needles especially when the needles used for blood test are way thicker. Just grit your teeth and look away 😅. For labour, hug the laughing gas and let them do the epidural/iv drip needles while you’re on laughing gas. I was super high on it I didn’t feel anything at all 😂.
I was lucky to have a very skilled nurse for blood test (the one that we need to draw 3 tubes of blood at different timings). Didn’t really feel a thing. Personally asked for her help for the blood draw at a later time and she did help!! Was truly grateful for that. Hope you get a good good nurse!
