> I wish I had some good advice for you. I generally dissociate to get through it.
Good idea. I need to learn to dissociate better :(
> I think I'd do it all at once and get it over with, since the anticipation of a dreaded event is usually as bad as the event itself.
That makes sense. I hadn't thought of it that way; I'd only been thinking of the time actually spent lying down...
> Do you think your doctor could prescribe a mild tranquilizer for the event? Maybe even your ob/gyn would prescribe you one pill if you call ahead. After all, it's in his/her best interests for you to be relaxed.
That's a very good idea. I'll ask about that. I've never taken tranquilizers, though at least when I was having babies I could use the entonox, which helped a bit. Hmm... I'll see if I can persuade the doc to give me something.
