Common Questions and Answers about Negative rh blood type

Avatar f tn From what I understand (and I could be wrong) its not about being o negative or a negative or whatever, its about lacking the rH factor making you rH negative. If they had found that your blood was rH negative, they would have tested dad's blood too. If he is also negative. No issues. Negative is a recessive trait so if dad was positive, baby would be positive and the difference in you and baby is what would cause issues. Hope this helps a little.
3198629 tn?1367038423 Umm, my sister had to have a needle when she was pregnant with her first because she had a negative blood type and the father was a positive. My question is, I don't know what blood type my fiance is and I'm O+, but I was under the impression that if you were positive the fathers blood type didn't matter, is that true? I don't want my body to attack the baby..
Avatar f tn They will automatically give you the shot around 28 weeks since babies blood type is unknown. If they Abby has your blood type after delivery you won't need another shot. If baby has positive blood type they will give you the shot. Don't freak yourself out , I'm rh- as well and I'm pregnant with my third healthy babyboy.
Avatar f tn They only give you O type blood if they have to because its a neutral blood type and your body wont reject it.

1230912 tn?1273492770 ) So I guess my question is how many of you on the board have RH negative blood? Does being RH negative with MS have any cause/effect on the situation? Thank you all knowledgeable ones!
Avatar f tn Okay, so I'm a negative blood type and 32 weeks pregnant. I have gotten the shot required to be sure my body doesn't attack my baby girl and all seems well. (Worst shot from hell I've ever received though.) But I am now hearing that there may be risks of my child becoming anemic due to our different blood types? Has anyone else come across this, and are there any ways to avoid that from happening?
Avatar n tn How does blood type affect fertility aside from RH concerns? Just beginning to research this.
Avatar f tn The doctor will let you know if you're rh negative. Just because you have negative blood, doesn't necessarily mean you are rh negative. But, if you are, you will get the shot. And after you have your baby, if he or she is a different blood type than you are, you will get another shot.
Avatar f tn Am A- blood type and I have to do the shots in the 7 month and other depending on the type of babyborn blood . Is there any obstacles of natural delivery for the negative type of blood and any problems during pregnancy . Am 7 weeks and it's my first .
8274643 tn?1406141596 Like she said, it has to do with being positive or negative, not the actual blood type. If your negative and the baby has positive blood, it means it's positive for Rh. That means your body will "attack" the baby. It's a very safe procedure and medically necessary.
Avatar f tn I'm 27 weeks pregnant and I was told I'm a negative for my blood type and I need to get a shot I was just wondering if any of y'all have gotten it and if so when is it necessary to get it?
5889951 tn?1380316047 I was discussing with my sons father who is o negative blood type and I am o negative blood type would my son be o negative as well? If anyone has any info they could share with me I would be very appreciative.
Avatar f tn No you do not need a rhogam shot if you are rh positive .. Even if dad is rh negative. The shot is only needed if you are negative and daddy is positive because even if baby is negative it means that baby is missing a certain protein on the blood cells which wont cause any harm. The only time you get the shot is when you are negative and there is a chance baby is positive because if there is any transfer in blood between you and baby you have a possibility of becoming sensitized.
Avatar f tn Anti A1 with rh neg treated the same as any rh negative mom you will need rhogam to protect your body from attacking your fetus. Otherwise A1 is A with a a positive anti lectin 1 on it.
Avatar f tn Someone who is rh+ would not have any problems carrying a Rh- baby, O Rh- is the universal blood donor type, meaning that we can donate blood to any other blood group, however we can only recieve blood from O Rh- and I think one other (been too long since university!
Avatar f tn If you have a positive blood type U don't have to worry about it.
Avatar f tn Everyone is either RH negative or RH positive it has nothing to do with pregnancy.
Avatar f tn OK only mothers that r RH negative (negative blood type ) get the rogam shot....it stops your blood from taking on the antigens of the baby's blood if mother and baby's blood mix at the time of birth...if this were to happen and you should end up pregnant again there's a chance your body would abort the baby and you'd miscarry this happens when the blood type is different due to the now antigens you adopted from this baby...the shot stops your blood from doing this ...
Avatar f tn I am now 25 weeks. With another girl. my first born girl has the exact same blood type that I do including the lack of rh protein coating her blood. I'm thinking this little girl will be the same.
Avatar f tn Any woman who is a negative blood type has to get the shot if baby is positive blood type it's just normal
Avatar f tn It isn't a huge problem at all. If the baby's dad is rh positive then your body will want to reject the baby because it's seen as a foreign body. It will not reject your first baby but it will create antibodies so the next baby you have is at risk. They use to give you immunosuppressant shots during your second pregnancy to prevent miscarriage but I believe (you can ask your doctor for sure) now they give you one while delivering your first child and it will prevent it.
Avatar f tn Ok, so I'm blood type A+ which means I have rh positive blood? And my baby should be fine? I read the only time there is a problem is when the baby is positive and the mother is negative. Does anyone know if I'm understanding everything correctly? Ps. My new doctor wants me to get retested, I guess it wasn't in my medical records. I just want to put my mind at ease, and not feel the need to rush/worry just yet.
