What if it's too late and your body already produced antibodies to the Rh D factor?

Question

I'm O NEG, I've been pregnant 3 times; I have two kids and one miscarriage. I received the rhogam for my two kids but when I had my miscarriage I didn't; now I'm pregnant and I want to know what would happen to the baby if my body already produced antibodies.

Answer 1

the injection is 28 weeks and 34 weeks i had some antibodies with my 1 of my children but it was ok as with previous children i has the injections you should be ok but mention it to your doctor

Answer 2

I would suggest asking your Dr. I am also O NEG and I have 3 kids, I had rogam all three times and no complications so I am not sure what would happen in your case, I think they told me that when I was pregnant that if the antibodies were to have already been produced that it could fight off the new baby?? But I would really ask the Dr. and there must be something that they can do if you do have the antibodies in your system. Good luck

Answer 3

You are suppose to get your shot in the middle of your pregnancy I want to say at 20 something wks and after the baby is born. I went through that myself and DIDN'T get a shot after one miscarriage and I have my daughter and I know that shouldn't be a problem.

Your doctor will know when to give u the first shot. I wish I could remember the wk u are suppose to but I know its not in the first few wks so you are ok for now.

Answer 4

I would bring it up immediately with your OB...I want to say you should be okay, but I haven't been through that. I would immagine if it's an issue they can give you a shot early and that would help prevent your immune system from attacking the baby.

Answer 5

Yes, talk to your OB/GYN. You are supposed to have the shot within 72 hours of any miscarriage or live birth.
