Anyone else RH - ?????
| Mon, 07-21-2003 - 9:04am |
Hi girls. I was just wondering how many of us are RH - out there. I am. I found out about 7-8 years ago. Have you talked about this with your doctor? We haven't really discussed it much. I'm assuming we'll talk about it after I get pregnant. I have a SIL who is an RN and she said I will need to get a series of shots throughout my pregnancy and after the birth. Does that sounds about right?

As long as you receive these shots, there is nothing to be worried about.

I am RH- and my husband is +, and that is where the problem comes in. if an RH- mom is pregnant with an RH+ baby (which can only happen with a + daddy), and the mom's blood and the baby's blood mix at any time the mom's body can form antibodies that can attack any future RH+ baby (thinking it is a foreign object). This problem is solved by the rhogam shot which you get any time you have bleeding in a pregnancy, at 28 weeks and after you give birth. I have three kids (for a total of 8 shots...ouch!!!) and all are wonderfully healthy. So, it is nothing to worry about!!!don't you love medical science!!!!
GOD Bless and have a H&H 9 months!!!!!

Check with your doctor on this because if you ARE negative then you have to get these shots. No if, and's or but's about it. :)
I need to see if my husband is -. If he is, then I don't have to worry about anything AND I don't have to get the shots. Whoohoo!!!
GL to all you ladies. Thank you all for the great information. It has put my mind as ease.
Thanks!!!!

Info on what RH- is....

I am RH - and my husband is +. When I was pregnant with DS I got a shot at 28 weeks but I never got another one. My son is neg. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. We are in the military and they do not start Hep shots in the hospital either. I know some hospitals do. It is all a little confusing.
Good luck to you all.
