Answer 1

Hi there,
The injection is needed. It is given usually after the baby is born. It is vital because if you develop anti bodies then you may loose your next baby because of it.

So as it is given after the birth there can be no harm to your current baby, but protection for any future babies.

Check out the links. That might help you to understand better.

Good luck with it.

Answer 2

Hi there. First off, congrats for being pregnant.

I, too, am Rh negative and my husband is Rh positive. This factor was the key role in the miscarriage of my first child.

If your baby, like your husband, has Rh positive blood, your body will build antibodies against the baby and try to terminate your pregnancy. If the pregnancy doesn't terminate, there is a very very good chance that your baby will come out with severe mental and physical anomalies.

The shot they give you, normally called Rhogham, is designed to keep your body from building those antibodies against your baby. It isn't going to hurt your baby to have the shot, even if the baby is Rh negative like it's mommy.

The only bad thing I can tell you about the shot is that it hurts.

Good luck with every thing.

Oh, and you usually recieve the shot when you are 28 weeks pregnant and again within 48 hours of delivering your baby. If you are bleeding early on in pregnancy, they usually give you the shot then too.

no anti d actually help ur baby because if ur baby is possitive ur blood can fight against ur babys thats why u are meant 2 get the jag because it prevent that from happening

the only "project" will arise if she has young infants and the youngsters are of your blood team, this might bring about issues for the period of delivery yet alot of them might properly be alleviated if the accepted practitioner knows the transformations in blood varieties and she or he gets the RH shot.
