The only time I tried to give blood I got so scared that I passed out, and once I passed out at the dentist when they were giving me a novocaine shot. Now I'm just totally whatever. Even with the rhogham shot I was meh.</p> <p>I feel like having two kids including one Unmedicated has really made me woman up in soooo many ways. Medical stuff, personal stuff, everything. When I got my root canals I was nervous but I just kept telling myself I had pushed a baby out of my hooha with no drugs so I needed to just woman up! And it worked :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-pregnancy-help-you-overcome-any-phobias#post-1934035 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 07:08:37 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1934035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same phobia. Not of throwing up myself but of other people throwing up. Its not as bad now after having to deal with a stomach bug with lo, but I definitely still get anxiety about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-pregnancy-help-you-overcome-any-phobias#post-1934028 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 07:00:44 +0000 lamariniere 1934028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still working on the puke phobia...although, I do manage to deal with it when it happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-pregnancy-help-you-overcome-any-phobias#post-1933994 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 06:09:37 +0000 artsyfartsy 1933994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>POOP!!! </p> <p>I'm over it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-pregnancy-help-you-overcome-any-phobias#post-1933984 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 05:42:17 +0000 anonysquire 1933984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Same phobia and it's still there badly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-pregnancy-help-you-overcome-any-phobias#post-1933540 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 20:10:39 +0000 cmomma17 1933540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Needles/blood draws!

I'm hoping pregnancy "cures" me, that'd be awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-pregnancy-help-you-overcome-any-phobias#post-1933503 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 19:47:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 1933503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was seriously phobic of throwing up. I could do (and would do) everything in my power to avoid it. I don't think I threw up from grade 5 until college, when I drank too much and it was outta my control..lol.</p> <p>Now? Two pregnancies later, I'm a pro. hahaha. nasty, but..hey.</p> <p>I also could NEVER stomach people retching or puke itself - I was afraid of parenting a sick child! But, DD has puked on me (real - not spit up) and I wasn't even phased. Parenting, I guess? </p>
