There are no rhesus issues if both parents are negative. Complications can only occur when a negative mother is exposed to positive blood of the baby and a baby can only inherit the Rhesus positive antigen from a positive parent.

It is a possiblity. Normally during pregnancy you wife will have blood work that will show her blood type. They may want her to take medication to prevent any problem that may occur do to the baby possible having a + blood type.Though if I remeber correctly during the first pregnacy this won't cause a problem, only in following pregnacy will the rh factor (the difference between +/- blood), possibly cause a problems and meds are given.

It's normal to give Rh neg mothers RhoGam (Anti-D IgG) during the pregnancy, regardless of the father's status. Better safe than sorry. It will prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn in case something was typed incorrectly.

Im not exactly positive but I think so since you are both rhd negative then that means you are without the antibody so I think so but I have a hard time keeping it all straight.
