Oh my goodness. You handled all that so calmly... I'm donating this Thursday, I'm so scared. Did you feel it being sucked out of your body? Or you didn't feel anything?

@123Pepsigurl As soon as the needle was in, I didnt feel a thing physically. But it was really amazing to watch my blood go into the bag and know that it would help someone else, as corny as that sounds. I'm glad you have decided to donate! I have been a regular blood donor and its awesome. Good luck on thursday! :)

I just donated blood for the second time today. It's actually not that bad. My feeling is that the pain of a needle for a little bit isnt as bad as what other people might be going through and they need the blood. Good for you for donating. =]

i donated for the first time last month and got really dizzy and probably almost passed out. which may have been because i had barely eaten anything that day lol. was your second time donating easier in the sense of dizziness? i want to donate again next month so i was just wondering :)

I donated two days ago for the first time...I was really scared but the pain only lasted...3 seconds at least..Everything was going fine..I did it..Got the wrap..swung my legs over the bed thingy,stood up..walked over to a bench..and sat down..I felt fine until 5 minutes later..I felt dizzy..My vision got super blurry..And i couldn't hear anymore..I was on fire too..I passed out..Turns out i didn't eat a good enough breakfeast...But i'm still glad i gave! Doing it again in April! :)

I'm donating tommorow maybe, but I'll admit I'm scared. Does it hurt when they stick the needle right in there???

[DingusMcFlabbergasty]

You are very cute. And I commend your donation. :)

I'm donating blood for the first time Wednesday at school. I am beyond nervous about passing out. I don't usually pass out when i'm getting blood taken at the doctor but i know it takes like 20 minutes to get the pint of blood.

Ahh.. im donating next week. I wasn't really considering it until a friend of mine put it this way... If you were in a situation where u needed blood, you would hope that everyone who could give, gave. Wish me luck!

Oh my heck! I am really really scared of the thought of giving blood due to the size of the needle. Everyone says it doesn't hurt, and I know they're right. It's just so hard! I might give blood at my school this Friday, your video helped a lot with my nerves. Wish me luck if I end up donating!
