Rhesus Negative?

Tiny_Wife · Apr 25, 2011 5:07PM

Hi Ladies,

So I had my 16 week midwife app on Monday and she told me that my blood results had come back and my blood type is rhesus negative, which means that I will have to have injections called Anti D.

One at 28 weeks and then at the birth, and they also send you home with one to do at home...

They will also test the cord blood to see what blood type the baby is, whether it is a positive or a negetive

Anyone have any experience of this?

Yes me, I am A neg. When I had him (only 18 months ago) it was 2 injections so pleased it is now only 1. I am not an injection wimp and it really isnt that bad, bit sore but fine.

They tested babies cord blood in hosp and he was also neg which was good news for me for future pregnancies.

I have never heard of having to take an injection home but as I said it has all changed in 18 months

Good Luck x

Hiya, I've had this with all of mine.

I only had one at 28 weeks and one after birth though, never heard of the one at home and last time I had mine was last October. They're nothing to worry about though.

I am also rh- and have had different amounts of anti d with each of my children, they seem to change their minds all of the time. As some of the others have said I think it is only one this time.

My boys were both negative then my daughter positive x
