Re: Poll:Do you donate Blood on a regular basis?

No because I was deathly afraid to. But after the blood tests I've had to have for this pregnancy, I will absolutely start donating after the baby is born.

Re: Poll:Do you donate Blood on a regular basis?

DH and I now donate blood on a regular basis. When our son was born premature, dh was tested and found he also has CMV neg blood - I could not donate at that time having just given birth. We will continue to donate on a regular basis in his memory.

Re: Poll:Do you donate Blood on a regular basis?

When I was first able to donate, i was all gung ho about it!

The first time i came back low blood sugar

The second time I fainted about 30 seconds after they put the needle in me and bent my arm up.

Ever since them I'm absolutely terrified to donate - I'm afraid i'll pull my arm up too far and stab myself or something Chat Icon

Re: Poll:Do you donate Blood on a regular basis?

I wish I did more often. I am terrified of having blood taken from my inner elbow, and always ask that they take it from my hand, in between my knuckles. Some techs won't do it though.

I've donated about 5 times, but got sick after every donation, so I had to stop. Apparently my immune system can't handle losing a little blood. Chat Icon

Re: Poll:Do you donate Blood on a regular basis?

I do not, but my DH has some special quality in his blood that is good for sick babies, so he donates constantly. He wants to pay back for all the blood transfusions his father had with leukemia. SO SWEET! Chat Icon
