I always play a game called clash Royale that will require focusing during blood tests cause I tend to faint ๐Ÿ˜‚

I just took the whooping cough vaccine and I feel it's painless. just keep thinking that it's for baby and u will endure the pain somehow. as someone who have low tolerance for pain, I find it bearable... took more than 4 tubes of blood for both Oscar and NIPT on the same day ๐Ÿฅฒ playing the game really helps distract me from thinking about the needle and pain a lot! After the glucose test maybe u will feel blood test is nothing already ๐Ÿ˜‚
