I wonder...My cousin also had to do the same shots. I wondering if I will too, that is if I turn out to be pregnant tomorrow.<br /><br />I was wondering what I should do with all those leftover, unused (I presume you mean unused) needles.

(My DH just slaps me around a bit to loosen the muscle, I make sure to turn my toe in toward my other leg as I'm laying on my tummy waiting for the shot, and then we rub/massage the spot vigorously to distribute the oil once it's in. You could probably even apply a little heat over your bandaid, if you wanted, but I don't.)Amy L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17013013895577702357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574605296259081338.post-64088781223229444722012-02-05T11:29:17.324-08:002012-02-05T11:29:17.324-08:00It's not so much that I need them, but rather ...It's not so much that I need them, but rather that they won't hurt, but might help.

I got to stop the shots at 17 weeks. <br /><br />I had a visiting nurse come AFTER my twins were born, and it was very helpful and covered by insurance. It sure isn't common, though.Chickenpighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442755180328605920noreply@blogger.com
