I can't bring myself to give blood. I feel bad because i feel like it is selfish. I'm not really that afraid of needles, but something about it just makes me weird. Maybe I'll get over it...hopefully I'll get over it.

AfroNova, nope, I don't weigh enough. They say you have to be at least 110. When they did blood drives at my college and the workers found out I don't weigh enough they told me to eat more so I could donate the next time. lol My body just doesn't work that way, my weight just stays the same until I get pregnant. If I DID weigh enough I'd at least TRY to donate. I know my veins are easy enough to find from when they take blood do the initial tests when I go in for my prenatal appointments. Being a runt doesn't always have the best benefits. lol [/quote]
yeah.. I am 6'1 I weigh about 120-125. ( I eat really well too!) even though I techically weigh enough to do that.. I am still underweight in general.. I never gave blood, never attempted.. nervous I would get sick or something.. just a gut feeling.

I don't fast from food for some of the reasons, I just dont think it would be a healthy thing for me to do
