Needle phobia and pregnancy

Hi everyone, I’ve just started to try for my first baby. I’ve got a huge phobia of needles and also have a medical condition that can be triggered due to the sight of blood, this causes me to feel faint. As much as I can’t wait to fall pregnant, the fact that I’m going to have to face my phobia is really worrying me. Can anyone give any advice on they managed with a needle phobia during pregnancy ?

Definitely agree with hypnotherapy. I had it when I was pregnant and managed a c section, multiple blood tests, etc without even feeling anxious. Quite expensive, but 100% worth it.
