shots in the belly

Has anyone else had to do the daily blood thinning shots that go in the belly? Does it always leave  bruises and does the idea of daily shots get easier? I sear I am taking more medications pregnant that I have taken in the last 20 years.

I had to take them for two of my children.  Dad could not give them to me because he was to scared.  You really just get use to it after a while.

Yay! Congrats on getting this far. I had two miscarriages before and this is the farthest I've gotten too. I used to have to psych myself up to do the shots. ( 4-5 deep breathes saying " just do it" lol) I still hold my breath when I stick. It's all worth it tho.

13 weeks and really excited this is further than I normally get. I am scared of shots but did manage to do to myself last night even though I was shaking like a leaf.

I do the daily blood thinner shots too. I'm 15+5 today, so almost four months of them already. I'm pretty bruised up. They get easier. How far along are you?
