Angry with blood repeats

I'm now 21wks and STILL haven't had my results back from my booking in bloods (anaemia and genetic something or other) I've had them done 4 times now and each time I get a letter asking for them to be re-done due to labelling error. Seriously losing faith, hate needles (typical) and actually freaking out that I'm 21 wks and might get a result that says not good!! Midwife told me to check the samples are labelled correctly myself!!!! Anyone else had this??

No, I'm a nurse and that sounds ridiculous!
I'd make an appointment with your gp and ask him to do them! Obviously whoever is doing them at the moment is incapable of completing a label! Smile

Oh dear Sad
Maybe ask the midwife then. My midwife took blood and if you explain how upset you are and you are going to make a complaint then she might pull her finger out! Smile
