Blood Test Bruise

I feel a bit stupid asking this but I had a blood test done around 3 weeks ago at my 28 Week Midwife Appointment. And I've still got quite a significant bruise... is this normal?

I've got another Midwife appointment this Friday and I'm dreading if they have to do anymore bloods that i will have another horrific bruise for weeks.

I've never had a bruise like it before, it wasn't painful or tender or sore and my arm has been fine but it's just the fact the bruise is still there that's bothering me.

Sorry if im being stupid 😮‍💨

Looks like they nicked a vein. You could ask if the bloods could be done by ohlebotomy?

‘Nicking a vein’ is literally what taking blood involves!
pics look within the realms of normal.
