Rhesus Negative Mum's.Created By CamillaLCCJ on 03 February 2009
Are you a Rhesus Negative Mum? Need help support and advice? Well this is just the place to find it...
I am rhesus negative and when my son was born was supposed to have the jab but didn't need to as he was also rhesus negative. Phew not that i mind a poke in the bum, just can't take the jokes from my partner afterwards lol.
hi im 22 weeks pregnant with my fourth child im rhesus neg and im used to it all now it has changed since i had my first two they never used to give u the injection till after the baby was born if they werent the same blood type but with my last child and this one you have to have the injections through the pregnancies anyway good luck all if its your first baby not to woory it should all be fine. xx
Hi, I am 18 weeks, firstpregnancy and was told I had to have the anti-D jab. I asked whether it matters what my blood group my husband is and midwife said no. I know that if my hubby is also RH - then baby would be too, and then no need for jab, right? Perhaps they just take a blanket approach?

Hi Jayne! Thank you so much for your answer! Good luck with your pregnancy.
Hiya, im rhesus neg too... with my first child i was given the injection around 28 wks then again after the birth, this time i had the injection at 28 wks and it was a double dose, so was told i wont have another unless the baby's cord blood is different but in anycase im good until i give birth. I dont mind needles etc so have been ok with it all.
Ive only got 5 wks left now, so im counting down the weeks..
Good luck to all of you xx
Hi im rhesus negative and am pregnant for the second time. Im only 11 weeks at the moment. You will still need the injections with your first pregnancy usually at around 28 and 34 weeks and also an extra dose if you have any bleeding during pregnancy. When I was pregnant before I had to have an emergency c section at 27+6 because I had severe pre eclampsia and my son was born the day I was supposed to have my first anti D injection. They checked his blood group and said that as he was also rhesus negative I didn't need to have the anti D. I was panicking cos I thought the injections were really important and I knew that usually you would have them before the baby is born but the hospital staff were very unconcerned and said that it is only in the last few years that they have given anti D as routine to rhesus negative mums. Overall I would say have the injections but dont worry about the RH- thing too much.
