Ways to remain calm during...

jrgoogrl

My glucose test. I have never been good with blood tests in general. Today I had to go for my AFP and the first two times they pricked me, no blood came out. They said it was because I was stressing over it. The third time, the tech had me drink water while she wad drawing my blood and that seemed to work. I just don't know what I could do to try and remain calm, 1. while drinking the drink 2. while waiting the hour and 3. the actual blood test. 

I guess what doesn't help is everyone talking about how sick this test makes them. And lucky me gets to do it twice!

TIA!
