Recently went through a miscarriage, curious about RH sensitivity and current blood types.?
During the miscarriage, I felt the need to get as much information as I could to help her through the ordeal.
In my reading, I came across and article about RH sensitivity. Noting that if the mother is RH negative, it can cause complications with unborn fetuses who do not share the RH negative trait.
Since both she and I are RH negative, and RH negativity is a recessive gene I would think that our child would only come out RH negative as well.
My genetics are a little rusty, and I remember something about alleles causing variances in inherited traits.
Basically what I really want to know is if both the mother and the father are RH negative, then is it necessary to still get the RoGam shot after this miscarriage?

Well, being RH negative myself, and my husband not being RH negative, to be honest, I'm still a little unsure. I'm wanting to say that yeah, you guys will probably still need the rogam shot, especially since the miscarriage. If my memory serves me correctly, there are two shots you get (and i hope I don't get you guys upset over this, I know miscarriage is a sensitive topic so I'm trying to word it without sounding harsh or anything..) During pregnancy, a normal pregnancy, the woman generally gets a shot around 35 weeks, I think?
I've gotten both shots in my bum at 35 weeks with both pregnancies, if I can remember right. Then, if the baby ends up being a certain type, there is another shot the woman will have to get after birth... to help prevent complications in future pregnancies. It all depends on the blood type of the baby, though. With my first pregnancy, I didn't have to have the second shot, actually.
Probably be able to get a better response from a doctor, or even an OBGYN who would def. know more about your situation. Sorry about your loss, though.

the only injury it could have performed to the mummy is that if, say, she exchange into Rh damaging, you have been helpful. Then diverse Rh form of the fetus ought to attack or perhaps kill the mummy. (when you consider that + is greater suitable to -) when you consider which you and your newborn's mom are the two -, it truly is assumed that your newborn could have been damaging as nicely.
