First of all, don’t worry! We’re going to take good care of you :). Try to eat before your appointment and keep yourself hydrated. We wouldn’t recommend partying too hard the night before because 1: you’re not gonna feel great and 2: alcohol thins your blood which can cause additional bleeding. Just in-case you start to feel woozy, bring some sugar – this can really help (plus it tastes good)!
