That's my arm after having to give blood at my last doctor's visit. GROSS! I have the worst veins. I always tell them but they don't believe me until they try and stick me. I don't mind being stuck. Even repeatedly. I just hate it when they get the needle in and then start moving it around like they're performing liposuction! In and out. In and out. Side to side. Back and forth!Actually, this time the girl got the vein on the very first try. Not a normal thing for me. She got it on the first try but this is what my arm looked like 2 days later. I've been wearing long sleeves so that people wouldn't think that my husband beats me.

I have bad veins also and often get the same result as you. Hope it heals soon.
Ouch...that gave me the heebie jeebies...I have veins even I could probably hit if need be...never thought that to be an advantage but ouch...hope you feel better soon. That looks very painful.
poor baby. Matthew would LOVE to work on you!
I have terrible veins. Sometimes, it takes two or three different people to find a good one. Yes, I've had the back and forth needle action, too. I usually pass out when I give blood. It's not pretty. I've even had to let them use veins in my hands before. You wanna talk about ouch!
Even in pregnancy you have bad veins? That's pretty bad. At least you have a good attitude.
