Yes,there should be worried if father is Rh+ and mother is Rh-.This also may not creat problem for thier first child because mother blood has not started making antigen against Rh+.But after thier after thier first child has been born then, of course, mother has started making antigen.Then thier second child child will die of embryonic erythroblastosis.I think you have understand the process.

The only problem is if the mother is Rh- and the baby is Rh +. The babies + antibodies would then enter the mothers bloodstream and while it would not be a danger at that time, it would be a danger to any future pregnancies if not given a shot of Rhogam. This shot is usually given now at about 6 months pregnancy and again after birth if the baby turns out Rh +.

Yes, they need to be concerned because if the baby's blood type is opposite of the mother's blood type ... the mother's body will reject the baby as "foreign" tissue. To prevent this, the mother is given a shot at about 6 months into the pregnancy and again at delivery with each pregnancy.
