Hi hun….

So sorry for your losses…. 🙁

Have you got a good relationship with your doctor? If so, I’d discuss your concerns with them asap.
Secondly… what blood type is your partner? As this will impact your baby’s blood type.
I am also RHneg and when I was pg with my son, all was fine… the difficulty came with my second pregnancy…. in that, when my son was born there was tranferrence of blood from placenta, which resulted in my body creating antibodies….
I was given Anti-D when he was born, but the bleed happened in any event.

When I was pg with my daughter (my second child), my pregnancy bloods came back that I had the antibodies in my system, and I had to have bloods taken every two weeks to make sure that the antibodies in my system weren’t attacking my baby. My levels stayed low, and she was born one day after her due date, 100% healthy.

Then I had a third pregnancy, which ended in miscarriage…. possibly due to the antibodies in my system… which saw the foetus as an "invader" and resulted in the loss.

BUT, the bottom line is…. depending on baby’s blood type, and your partners, you could have absolutely no problems at all. So many factors come into play, which is why you should really address your concerns to someone in the medical field.

I’m an unusual case…. If your bloods came back clear, then you don’t have antibodies, and you have no cause to be concerned…

You may have just had very bad luck regards your previous losses and you could go on to have a 100% normal pregnancy! Let me know how you get on….. Talk to your doc…… 😉

thanks so much for replying,i was worrying so much about this.yes my gp is a great doctor and i get on very well with her,shes back from holidays in 2 weeks time so im going to pop up and see her,i rang the maternity hospital yesterday and was speaking to a midwife and she told me anti is not needed before 12 weeks,and as my losses were so early i didnt need them,i got ant d after my daughter was born,i think my partner is positive and my daugther is positive too xxx many thanks xx

I’m glad you have a good relationship with her, that is great, so hopefully you’ll be able to address all your worries with her.

Have a read of the above…. it should help make things a bit clearer for you.

Bottom line is :
You’ve been given Anti-D….. because your daughter was a positive blood type. The Anti-D would have eliminated any chance of your body creating antibodies….. which means that your next pregnancy could be 100%.

Me, on the other hand…. my body created the antibodies…. I’ll always have them, and if I were to fall pg with a child with a positive blood type again, the pregnancy possibly wouldn’t go ahead. IF on the other hand, a pregnancy resulted in a negative blood type baby…. there would be no issues…. as there wouldn’t be two competing blood types in my body….

I know it all sounds complicated, but I hope I’ve alleviated some of your concerns….

Wishing you all the best….. (and LOADS of baby dust!) x
