O Rh D Positive Antibody E

Hi. I've been told that following my booking bloods some weeks ago that I have Antibody E in my blood. I'm really confused. I've been looking on the web, become more and more confused and upset. Is there anyone out there with the same? I'm 14 weeks, I'm 43 with a 20 year old son and this is my second child. Big gap I know but hey ! Can anyone give me some guidance or advice. I'm a bit scared.

  • Hello

    I just saw a website which gives a friendly explanation and seems quite reassuring. My blood type is Rh negative so my body will produce D antigen so I have to have injections to stop this happening otherwise in future pregnancies my body will fight and kill my babies if they have the Rh positive blood.

    One of the sites I saw said the E antigen was not nearly as serious as the D antigen.

    Please try not to worry if there was cause for concern I'm sure your midwife would have told you.

    Have a happy 9 months
