if you donated through the red cross, download their blood donor app! i get badly nauseous, sweaty, and light headed during donation too but being able to track how much i’ve donated and see the amount of people it’s helped is why i keep doing it :)

for sure!!! def will, I did it coming home from the gym bc my fiancé was going to and I wanted to know my blood type. in hindsight I 100% should have eaten and drank more water

if this is something you’re gonna do again, maybe ask if you can lay down? (genuinely got nauseous again typing this out)

I did lmao I did it at like 3, they let me lay down for awhile - the chairs ur in for it are basically laying down which is nice! they were very nice and helpful. I then ate food after bc they gave me a coupon for PDQ (which is what convinced me to do it lol), went home and passed out for an hour and a half

I’ll def check that out!! I did it through oneblood, they said I’ll get an email in the next few days so hopefully that has cool info. If I do it again I’ll prob try Red Cross bc the oneblood app has 1.9 stars 😭 but tracking it sounds so awesome, I feel like that’ll make it feel so worth it
