I am RH-ve and so is my husband (no complications re blood matching/rejecting). Do you know what your husband/partners Rhesus is?

I was in a panic during my first trimester until they tested my husband (when I was 14 weeks). I had one miscarriage prior and they had not tested my husband but did give me the anti D shot. I know that you must be concerned but there is a chance that your future baby will be RH-VE (if your husband carries the RH-ve d gene)which will mean you will have no problems. The other problem is if you had been pregnant in the past but not known then you should have had an Ant D shot which if you had not known would be impossible. Sorry I can't help you with any other actual experience. Search the net and read up on everything you can find. I do know that they will not let RH-ve woman go past due date.

My mother is Rh-, father Rh+. Had three kids together, no miscarriages, and no problems. One was 10 days late, others on time - that is zero early births. Last two kids were home deliveries. And all three of us children are Rh+.
Of course this was a million years ago when these things were checked out - seriously not a single blood test.
My family experience might not help your concerns but just to let you know this is not always a problem and it is possible to have healthy kids with safe pregnancies.

The cure for the 'Rhesus Negative problem" was pionered and developed in Liverpool (UK) in 1963.
43 years ago. It is foolishly easy to handle.
Every Dr follows the protocols. It has NO bearing on the time or method of delivery.
There are VERY occasional problems. Women who have had a blood transfusion, IV drug users who have shared needles etc. Very occasionally after late miscarriages here Anti D was not given. Here in the mainland we originally had a problem as there are almost NO Rh neg Chinese people and so there was no Rho-gam (anti D) available and we had to bring it in from HK where it is in plentiful supply

Hi,
Just to let you know..I'm Rhe neg and just gave birth in Korea, where - like in China - very few are Rhe neg. I was one week overdue and therefore gave birth by c-sect. I didn't need a ant D shot as both my husband and I are neg. Meanwhile, had his blood been Rhe pos I would have had two shots...one during pregnancy and one immediately after in order to avoid later rejections should the baby had had Rhe pos. Meanhwile, as we are all neg - there are no problems what so ever.

To Claire:
Many pregnancies end up in spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) before the fetus has developed enought that the mother knows that she is pregnant. It has been estimated that 30 percent of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage with the majority of them being so early that the it is "not noticed". Of course, it's also possible that your parents got "real lucky".

Dr Moreton and kan are right, I believe. You have injections to rely on, and you'll be ok.
