Hi, my name is Blessing and I am B negative. I am creating this thread hoping that rh negative people like me can come together to enlight ourselves and get to know what to do to prevent sensitization especially when pregnant. It is time to stop this silence because it will cause us more harm than good.

Rhesus(Rh)factor is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood has the protein, you're Rh positive. If your blood lacks the protein, you're Rh negative.
Having an Rh negative blood type is not an illness and usually does not affect your health. However, it can affect you when pregnant for a Rh positive partner.

Hi mommies, me and my husband's rhesus factor are not compatible. I am B- , he is A+. Our doctor only booked me for a vaccine (RhoGAM) injection after delivery. I recently read in several articles online that it is recommended to have an RhoGAM vaccine on week 28 of pregnancy (which I didn't) and another after delivery. Now I am a little worried. Hope my baby and future babies will be fine if I just take the vaccine after deliver.


P.S. I took a Indirect Coombs Test (ICT) aka the Indirect Antiglobulin Test or IAT at 36weeks and it come back "Negative"
