I recently had blood work (like last week). It was the 1st bloodwork of my pregnancy. My work wants me to go have more bloodwork for a drug test. Is it safe to have it done this close together??

I'm sure it is safe, but you should ask your OB/Gyn. It's not like you are donating a pint of blood, but it could be an issue if you are anemic (lots of pregnant women are). What kind of drug test is it? I thought that most employers that did drug testing used urine tests.

You will be fine having blood drawn this close together. I am 7 months pregnant now. A few weeks ago, my doctor required me to have a 3 hour glucose test. That test requires you to have your blood drawn when you first get there and then every hour for 3 hours after that. That's 4 times in one day! The week before, I had just had my blood drawn for the 1 hour glucose test. So, I am saying this to reassure you that having your blood drawn that close together should not hurt you or your baby. If you continue to have concerns, maybe you should call the doctor or nurse to get some extra reassurance. Good luck. I hope all goes well for you.

Yeah. You're not going to loose more than a vile or two of blood. Not enough for most people to even get light headed. You'll be completely fine. Your body replenishes itself with blood daily.

As long as they are paying the bill, it won't hurt you.
