Good luck and hope I haven't rambled on! xx
I'm sure she'll be fine hun - Gabe was fine for all of his and only whined when the nurse took the needle out. He didn't even cry until the 3rd set and even then the crying was over in seconds. I think he just has a high pain threshold. But I was panicking about the jabs too and there was no need to. Does she have a dummy? Sucking on the dummy can distract and comfort them, therefore they feel less pain, it worked for us anyway. Good luck...it is really hard but is over soon enough! xxx
Good Luck.

thanks. not sure if she can have calpol as even though she is 10 weeks she was nearly 8 weeks prem and still doesnt weigh 4kg which the box says they need to be

well she was really brave, she had tears rolling down her cheeks but calmed down really quickly. she is a bit warm and is crying/whimpering in her sleep. its her legs thats causing her the problem, it seems that when she moves or anything touches them she cries, they must be so sore. she had some calpol but its wearing off now, she can have some more in an hour.
were we live now they do both injections at the same time, one nurse on each side which i must day makes it a lot easier as i dont think i would have been able to let them do the second one if they did it one at a time, i hated getting them done with the older two and i just get worse time i have to take one of them in.
I hope she is ok after it to, charlie got his on tuesday and has been crabby for the last two days x
