actually, it's not literally called anti-D injection. it's Rh immune globulin. Your baby is Rh positive while you're Rh negative. for the baby to survive, he/she needs to be sensitized with RhoGAM. for more details, check this site

the guy above is incorrect. If the newborn and the mum are the two unfavourable blood communities then there'll be no probs no remember if the mum has had the anti-D or not. The anti-D injection stops the mum from coming up anti-bodies, which could happen if the mothers unfavourable blood gets mixed with the infants helpful blood. Their blood can get mixed the two for the time of start or miscarriage or in all probability for the time of any bleeding that would happen for the time of being pregnant. a commonplace being pregnant heavily isn't in probability because of the fact the mum won't have geared up up any anti-bodies yet besides. it incredibly is the reason you are not getting given the injection until when you have given start or had a miscarriage. As for can it stop you having a miscarriage the respond isn't any. It has no bring about besides for the time of early being pregnant. in case you have not had the injection and additionally you're unfavourable and your infant is helpful, then, assuming there are anti-bodies on your physique (which there should not be until you're a unfavourable blood team, have had a sprint one or miscarriage until now and not won the injection) you're at an more desirable probability of having a prior due miscarriage or having problems in previous due being pregnant (you will possibly be able to might desire to be prompted some weeks in the previous to sidestep the anti-bodies from attacking your infant). besides i'm hoping it incredibly is clever and facilitates a sprint x

Because you are probably a rhesus negative blood group. You shouldn't have any problems because of this but if your baby is rhesus positive then in subsequent pregnancies you could have problems if you don't have the injections. Your midwife will be able to explain this much better than I am doing and will be glad you asked as she/he is there to help.

Don't worry. There are many of us Rhesus Negs. I am, so is my brother and his wife. It's just a small jab but can stop a whole can of worms from opening.
