When are pregnancy blood tests?

Hi when do the blood tests happen? Work want to test everyone who's patient facing for Covid19 antibodies, but wondering if it could wait until my pregnancy blood draw. I'm 6 weeks and get my booking appt over phone at 9 weeks.

Also... How much blood do they draw, almost fainted watching a blood draw during my training (everything went black and I was ordered to lie on the floor 😳)?

They're normally done at your booking in appointment at around 8 weeks, but with covid they have been being done at the same time as your scans, as booking in has been being done over the phone. Not sure now some restrictions have been lifted if that's still the case. Have you had your booking in call from the midwife yet? She'll be the best person to ask as it's likely to be different for each trust.
