Anyone RH negative?

Question

My antibody screen came back that I’m RH Negative...it sounds like it’s not too terrible to deal with potentially but I don’t have my next appt for a month to find out more! Anyone else have this come up?

Answer

Hi, I found out yesterday I was B negative. My three siblings are all positive, so it’s a bit weird. My doc said the problem could only arise for the next baby and only if I’m bleeding this time. Here it is explained at more length:
“During pregnancy, problems can occur if you're Rh negative and the baby you're carrying is Rh positive. Usually, your blood doesn't mix with your baby's blood during pregnancy. However, a small amount of your baby's blood could come in contact with your blood during delivery or if you experience bleeding or abdominal trauma during pregnancy. If you're Rh negative and your baby is Rh positive, your body might produce proteins called Rh antibodies after exposure to the baby's red blood cells. The antibodies produced aren't a problem during the first pregnancy. The concern is with your next pregnancy. If your next baby is Rh positive, these Rh antibodies can cross the placenta and damage the baby's red blood cells. This could lead to life-threatening anemia, a condition in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than the baby's body can replace them.”

Answer

I am O-, but so is my husband. As far as I know that means our children will be too.

Answer

I'm B- and had an anti D injection at just 4 weeks

Answer

I am O- as well and got my shot early on around 7 weeks and will be getting another around 25-28 weeks and when I’m in labor . My spouse is O+.

Answer

I am A- and this is my 4th baby. It’s only a problem with subsequent pregnancies. You’ll get a shot around 27 -29 weeks and another one if the babies blood is positive. Don’t stress out about it. Everything will be fine.

Answer

I’m O negative. They gave me my rhogam shot at 8 weeks due to bleeding. I’ll get another at 28 weeks and depending on baby’s blood type I’ll get one on the day i discharge

Answer

I am rh negative,  I have O- blood and they will give you an rh shot at around 28 weeks and after labor! I ended up having my first at 20 weeks and he did not make it so I only ever got the after labor shot but it sounds like it's the same for every pregnancy if you are so nothing scary!

Answer

I’m RH negative. 
It’s not been a big issue. You get a shot in the bum in the 3rd trimester and then again if your baby’s blood type wasn’t compatible with your own, you get one after birth. 
The only issue is if you have bleeding in pregnancy at all. You need to be concerned about potentially mixing of the blood types which could cause issues.
I also had to have an injection when I miscarried.
