I wonder why everyone had a different experience with this shot! I've heard so many different answers.. Some people say it's terribly painful and others say they barely felt a thing! Sooo weird.. Maybe it's all about what part of your body you get the shot??
I got mine done today and she injected it in my hip area and im a baby with pain but I just bend over the bed and breathed and it was over in a few seconds it wasnt even that bad to me atlest , it did sting but it is a decent size needle going into you but just think its going to help u jn the long run
No, not everyone. Only if you have a negative blood type!
Honestly i got mine today, had one with my first pregnancy, and this is the second time with this pregnancy.. i literally told the nurse today i rather get a tattoo than get this shot.. everyone is different, but i freaking hate it, it hurts so bad going into the muscle, and then when they inject it it burns.. wjere i live we dont have the option of getting it in the arm, i would prefer that.. we have to get it in side thigh... dont want to scare you, just saying i hate it.. my advice is to not look at it and have somethinv to grip onto lol
Do all pregnant woman have to get this shot?
Thanks everyone! I'm honestly not even really afraid of needles or a big baby when it comes to needles, but I'm so nervous about this one for some reason! Totally am over thinking it
With my first daughter I got it in the bum and let me tell you that wasn't a very nice experience :( this time around I got it in the arm and was so much better wasn't painful at all
I got mine in my arm I didn't feel anything and my arm wasnt tender or sore.
I had to get that to but I always get mine in my arm I don't want no shot in my hip or butt sorry but no good luck =)
I get mine in my hip... Not ganna lie it does hurt while they're doing it and it's a little tender for a few hours but after that it's like nothing happened.
I always have to get it at 28weeks and its usually on the butt, doesnt hurt me bt maybe im use to it lol you also have to get it once you have your baby.
Good luck! I have to get it in 6 weeks as I am 22+2 now. A friend of mine had to get it and said her arm was painful for a few days after. Really not looking forward to it as I am such a baby
Let me know how it goes today!! Good luck
ive gotten them with my other 2 pregnancies in the bottom and will get it here soon as I'm 9 weeks now. it didn't feel pleasant but not too bad lol. and I had to get it once after my 2nd birth bc she was a positive blood type, but at that time I think I got it in the arm. but it's worth the pain. good luck!!!
I get mine dont tomorrow in so scared ! Lol had to get blood done fiest today and go to hospital tonorrow :(
Mine was in the arm, didn't feel a thing. I did touch my arm in the area I received the shot a week later and it felt tender like a bruise, but went away a few days later. I glanced at the needle it and looked huge, no worries though it was perfectly fine!
I got it in the bum. It definitely didn't feel good. The syrum is really thick. That's usually what makes shots painful. That's what my doc said.
