Your mom can come with you. Since you really hate needles ask for them to use the butterfly needle. It is what they use on toddlers and babies. It is a lot smaller, and appartently it hurts less. But there is nothing to worry about. It does not hurt much, only the split second when the needle goes in. Plus, if you look away and talk to your mom, you will be distracted. Also, press really hard on your arm, after the blood is taken so you won't bruise.

She can come. Just relax. I really hate needles as well and i just got my blood work done the other day as well.
Just warn the person who is doing the blood work about your fear of needles, so they are ready for a jumpy reaction. next relax, if they tell you not to look at the needle i would suggest to look at it. Alot of people who are afraid jump when the needle is being inserted and that tends to yeild bad results. I strongly suggest you look at it, so you dont have a bad reaction. After the needle is in close your eyes and count/sing a favortie song/whatever. And this way you dont have to see them switching viles and such.
Goodluck

Blood test are very simple.. and quick and easy.. don't be scared. Your mom can come with you. When they stick the needle in... and it is a very small one too... it feels like a small pinch and it soon goes away. If it helps any.. look away.

Yes she can.
It hardly hurts a bit. Its all done in a few seconds. I find it best to look away and not watch the needle go in your arm. That way, there's no extra stress from watching it.
