Rh negative blood type?

You won't have problems withthe first pregnancy without getting rhogam...it would be subsequent pregnancies that will be an issue. In your first pregnancy you should have got it at 18 weeks and within 72 hours of delivering if yuor baby was a positive. You should also have gotten a shot if you had any vaginal bleeding in the pregnancy. IF you have a miscarriage, you need to get a shot. I'm not aware of any testing that they do at the beginning to type your blood. I just told my Dr that I was RH negative. My Mom was lucky, being O- as I was...That was in 1969...they used to give babies blood transfusions when they were born.

It wouldn't have caused any problems with your first pregnancy. It is after you have carried a baby that it would cause a problem because that babies blood mixes with yours making certain antigens. And if your baby had a different blood type as you it would harm your next pregnancy, in most cases making you miscarry.

I have A- Blood. Don't know what my husband's is and it really doesn't matter.

I had a miscarriage some years back and they had to do blood work, common precedure and confirmed I had - blood and had to have the Rhogam shot in order to carry another baby. And then between 24-28 weeks is when your supposed to get another Rhogam shot when pregnant.

After you have a baby, if the baby's blood type is the same as yours, then you don't need a shot but if the blood type is different, you need a shot after your baby is born.

The shot isn't new but it wasn't used a lot back in the day.

My mom has - blood and had to deliver a still born because of the blood difference. She went on to adopt two children because her and her husband's blood types were different. Later divorced and was very happy when my dad's blood type matched hers and she was able to have another baby. My mom is now 65 years old.

It's not uncommon not to know. Usually if you miscarry, you find out what your blood type is and find out you then have to have the Rhogam shot in order to have another baby.

I am o- and when My son was born in 02 they did the testing and gave me the rhogam shots then. I was told my son would have to have a shot also. I had to shot with my daughter also, but after she was born last week was told that she didnt have to have one. Also some drs dont give it with the first pregnancy since the problems would only arise with later pregnancys.

I have to always get the rhogam shot because I am 0 negative blood type and my boys are A positive blood type...You should only get this shot if one of you are a negative and the other is positive blood type. If your husband doesn't know his blood type it is just a standard precaution to get it and also if you have bleed at any time during this pregnancy you should get the shot also. It will not hurt your baby to get this shot. I had to have the shot twice during my second pregnancy.

i'm a RH- (A adverse). in case you have Rh-advantageous blood, you may acquire Rh-advantageous or Rh-adverse purple blood cellular transfusions. yet those with Rh-adverse blood ought to in elementary terms get Rh-adverse purple blood cells, different than in emergencies.

It was only about 4 years ago that they started doing this. My son is turning 5 soon, and they never tested us for this. When I had my other son late last year, it was all new to me too.

its ok, they say u dont need the shot for ur first baby. the second one is the one that would need it and so on. i am Rh neg 2. i am prego with my first and they just gave me the shot and im like 29weeks.
