Like Sam suggests, make sure that you eat a good meal before your appointment. Do not skip this, if you are very nervous, you may have to force yourself to eat. I used to have to choke the food down before an appointment. These days I’m pretty relaxed before an appointment and can actually enjoy the food. Well rested plus well fed equals less pain.

More importantly – make sure that you get some good pics to share with us! (OK. Maybe eating is more important, but pics are too.)
