Jennifer, I am sorry you need an EMG. Everyone I know holds some degree of fear re: EMGs. I have all limbs done once every year. I have sat in with my mother while she has had them done for carpal tunnel. Some people are in pain, while others are not so much, which may or may not be dependent upon their neuromuscular status. While my pain varies with each EMG test, I can say you have very likely endured much more pain in childbirth. I have found calming breaths to be very helpful before and during the procedure. Thinking of you.
