Giving blood


Sarah

Recommended Posts

No I can't give blood due to health reasons, but I do have to get blood taken regularly (every few months) and I hate it! I am terrified of needles. The worst one was when they had to take more than 4 vials of blood for testing, felt quite woozey after that!

I LOVE having blood taken...yes i know, weirdo! But i haven't donated yet, i keep meaning to find out if i can (i had a virus when i was younger, which made(!) me disabled not sure if i can or not) But i used to have it 3 times a year, and then when pregnant all the time, and i must have been the only person saying thank you to the person taking my blood!

I used to give blood about 3 times a year but I don't go anymore as I kept passing out and being ill for a few days after giving blood so my Dr thought I was annemic but that was fine. One day when I did it, I was on the bed for ages and then thew up blood, so I don't go anymore. And Jamie didn't like me doing it either. My dad does it but my mum can't for some reason, not sure why, but she has a rare blood type so she says if she could she would.

How rude that they woun't let you take your baby in. Wrap him in a blanket and put a little hat on him to cover his ears and say its your baby. You wouldn't be lying as he is your baby.

I give blood , I have O rhesus Negative which is apparently rare and can be given to anybody in an emergency if there is no time to find out there bllood group , so mine is used a lot in SCBU ( special care baby units ) . It sometimes makes me a bit tired after but not always and besides being tired is worth it knowing you have perhaps saved somebody's life

I have given blood once i am not that rare i am A pos i love giving blood though the fact that i could have saved someones life gives you all the satisfaction you need! although the last time i gave blood i was a fainter lol i had to lie on the bed with my feet in the air and have a cold compress on my head lol i felt so sick omg i just wanted to come home and curl up but they wouldn't let me! Antony says that i am not allowed to give blood again because he doesn't want that to happen again but thats what he thinks i will walk there if i have to! I am also down on the donor register to donate my healthy organs when i am dead hey i have no use for them and if i can save 1 persons life that is better than none!!
