RH- and Pregnant
Gender Prediction
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.

You can find a blood typing kit here for use after baby is born. I personally retreived blood from the babys cord for the test.
RhoGAM� Shots for Rh-negative mothers can damage developing infants
"For the last thirty years, Rh-negative women and their unborn children were exposed to a toxic mercury without their knowledge. RhoGAM, the drug used to treat the rare condition of Rh incompatibility or Rhesus disease, contains a crippling dose of poisonous organic mercury. One dose of RhoGAM exposes an unborn child to nearly 66 times the "safe" amount."
