Rh negative blood??
Anyone here have rh negative blood that can harm baby? How long did the doctors make you wait before tbey gave you the rogam shot??
I got mine as soon as I found out and told the doctors I'm o- they gave it to me right then at women's hospital andake sure they give you the card after the shot and keep it in your wallet the doctors ask for it a lot
Got my first shot at 4 weeks of my pregnancy due to vaginal blood coming out one evening. My Dr wanted me to wait until 28 weeks but the ER didn't want to risk it. Got my next shot at 28 weeks and I'll get my next shot at delivery in 9 weeks. Miscarried last year within the first tri because of Rh and vaginal bleeding.
28 weeks and I get another after I give birth
In the unlikely event mixing occurs, the Mother’s Rh negative blood would encounter the Rh protein from her Rh positive child’s blood and develop antibodies against it. This process is called “sensitization”.
No harm can come to the baby the first time mixing occurs. If any mixing of blood happens for the second time, however, some of these antibodies from the Mother’s blood could get into the bloodstream of the fetus and attack the red blood cells causing Rh Disease which puts the child at risk for stillbirth. Babies born with severe Rh Disease require intensive treatment to survive.

I got mines at 28 weeks pregnant... But When a woman who is Rh negative is pregnant, there is a slim chance of complications if the fetus she is carrying is Rh positive.
This small risk arises if there is any mixing of blood between the mother and the fetus. Under normal circumstances, this never occurs, but in the event of a car accident or trauma to the mother’s belly, some mixing of blood is possible. Mixing may also occur if there is a miscarriage, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or birth interventions during the labor/birth process.

I had that and didn't get the shot. Baby was fine.
