Jan 2009 2:37pm, 16 Jan 2009 587 posts	0 I've never given blood. I used to be terrified of needles because I never had one until I was twenty-eight. Then I had to have all the blood tests when I was preggers and I soon realised it wasn't so bad. So I'd be happy to donate blood now. Are you allowed to give blood whilst breastfeeding or should I wait?
