BTW, they ended up NOT being able to get the draw and I decided to come back for a 3rd stick. I had no problems with it on either occasion. Oh and both were done earlier...the first was done at 17 weeks, the second at 21 weeks. I don't know if that makes a difference. I've never had one done late in pregnancy though.

Good Luck.
