RH- and Pregnant | |||||
How do you know if you are rh-? Usually, if you have had other children and saw a doctor or midwife, they tested you for the rh factor. If not, you may want to get tested. I would also suggest getting your dh checked, because if he is also Rh- you will not be susceptible to the risks stated below. If your blood is Rh- and the baby's father has Rh+ blood, the child may inherit the Rh factor from him and be Rh+, too. This would make your blood incompatible with that of your baby. As a result, your body may produce antibodies to protect itself fron this "foreign" substance if they were to mix. The anitbodies may be strong enough to attack the Rh+ blood of a child in a future pregnancy. The ways in which you can become sensitived are: abortion, miscarriage, caesarean, abruptio placentae, amniocentesis, pulling on the cord at birth, and cutting of the cord before it stops pulsating and before placenta is delivered.
