Saintmary:My dear , I talk from what I have seen. Shey na graduates wey wan go nysc dey come for medical certificate. Over half of them didn't know their blood grps and genotype. Yet they claim they had done medical screening. In Nigeria of today, its so easy to go around the system, if you know what I mean. |

Opinionated:This our doktas in the private sectors that wont employ the professionals to the lab. Keep on employing quacks as lab scientist. Stop patronising private hospitals, most of their staffs are quack. If you have such money to patronize quack(private hospital) , its better you fly away with such money for your medical. |

It is quite unfortunate that many of us do Biology in secondary for nothing. i have known this since my secondary school days and shared it with friends and neighbours whose problems seem similar. I lost two siblings to jaundice , so that got me reading about the cause of it. Rhesus factor is something all couples should know about even before marriage. 2 Likes |

Katier00: Interesting....Sorry. In the US, it is usually recommended to take two doses before delivery for all Rh-ve mothers, regardless of the Rhesus factor of the unborn baby....i.e. at the 28th and 34th week and if the baby is Rh+ve another dose after delivery or miscarriage or vaginal bleeding. 2 Likes |

Read this kinda stuff last year. Some ignorant people will be blaming unreal witches, innocent village people and their past life for their misfortune. Also to those males shouting that their female partners should give them a male child, I just want you to know that the gene that determines if the child would be male or female is in u, not in the female. For more details, read about XX and XY chromosomes. 1 Like |

if your Reshus factor is incomparable,you suppose to be taking Reshus factor immune globulins during your first trimester to regulate the antigins and the antibodies |

rad8: mostly the female partners are 100% incharge when it comes to give birth to male child The male mostly donate both X and Y chromosomes during fertilization it depend on the female to make use of any chromosome note that Y chromosome have a short life span,for you to give birth to male child is mainly when you female partner is ovulating that's when the Y can fertilize the egg because is more fast but have a short life span to last on the uterus so there are many condition that lead in destroying the Y chromosome example PH of the uterus so male are not incharge in giving male child but the female are so there is every reason to blame it on them. |

Opinionated: Gbam! I like stories like this, which not only highlight the problems or challenges in detail, but will also tell you the solution. In Nigeria, too many people believe in short-cuts, or glossing over their challenges, and this makes it difficult for others to learn a lesson from their experience. This lady is brave, because she did not stop searching for a solution. I always advice people - don't stick to one diagnosis. Get a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th medical opinion if necessary, once the challenge becomes difficult. Finally, I love her advice - "Ignorance makes us think medical problems are spiritual. As much as you pray, please seek medical help." Not everything is 'fall down and die!' |

Rhesus Isoimmunization is a common cause of intrauterine foetal death & neonatal jaundice. The indirect coomb's test can determine whether a pregnant women was sensitize from a previous pregnancy. The anti-D immunoglobins will not be very useful for a mother that is already sensitized by the foetal antigens. The other reason a women can be sensitized is through the transfusion of a rhesus negative woman with a rhesus positive blood. In cases of emergencies where a rhesus negative blood is not available for a rhesus negative patient, a rhesus positive blood of the same blood group or O rhesus positive blood can be transfused to save the patient's life. Before the transfusion the patient or her guardian must be counseled of the consequences & an informed consent obtained. |

Op, I feel your pain, and your message hits me to the narrow. I'm not a victim of Rhesus factor but my wife has suffered a miscarriage and I felt her pain each moment especially during evac. I feel your pain, and to have gone through 6miscarriages shows how strong you are. I started writing a diary on my wife's preggie status and even stopped, but reading your story; I'll definitely go back to it. Thanks for the enlightenment, several families really need this. God bless. 1 Like |

.. frankIzuchukwu:.. We have 22 autosome and one sex chromosome, one sex chromosome; X for female and Y for male. Female have 22 autosome and X (I.e Xx), male has Y (I.e XY). in every fertilization, the determinant of the zygote gender is the sperm cell that fertilize Ooctye. So the guy is absolutely responsible. 1 Like |

Rhesus...or riosis fact or factor wareva. Even christ said it "when i come back would i find faith on earth? When u pray and commit ur pregnancy to God u will be surprise a pray of faith can indeed move moutain & u will have a safe birth.have seen people that are told dat they must undergo cs,but they hold on to God and have a natural birth instead.why pray trusting in the one dat made u and at d same time seek after and believe a doctors report? It unfortunate that faithlessness and complete trust in the one dat made us is long erased.Science will end God wouldn't,faith in jesus alone is life.it good to grow more in faith. |

Water101: Wisdom is profitable to direct. Faith and Mental ascent are not the same. Since you have Faith, why don't you close your eyes while crossing an Express Road? I believe in JESUS and the power of Faith and miracles but I perform due diligence too. Get tested and know your status, it's not faithlessness... It's wisdom. When we have done what is necessary and the situation refuses to align then we use the rod and divide the red Sea. God respects principles!!! 6 Likes 1 Share |

Water101:Why don't you sit at home and wait for God to do everything for you. Doctors are there to help you, God has already answered that prayer by providing knowledge for the cure. The same applies to malaria, typhoid and all other diseases with cure. Probably the woman you are referring to was misdiagnosed. I have also seen someone who said she will never have a caesarian section, she died and the baby was brought out weak. 1 Like 1 Share |

Water101:I think we should understand that God is not and will never be an author of confusion and we should stop spiritualizing everything. Some things should be corrected here. Rhesus isoimmunization is real even though ignorance made people of old (and sadly some today) believe that the cause of the death of their babies were spiritual. The assertion you made about CS here is totally wrong. There are clear indications for CS and when a woman merits such and is advised by her doctor, she has the right to reject or accept it. However some reasons for CS do not mean that the woman cannot deliver but there are other reasons where it will be impossible to deliver vaginaly. For instance, a woman with foetal distress may decline the advise and will of course deliver eventually (the condition of the baby not withstanding) but a woman with obstructed labour means that that labour cannot progress except by surgical intervention. Why doctors advise for CS is for safety of both the woman and her baby, so I advise people to listen to their doctors and ask questions on the pros and con. Many never lived to tell their story. Please God is all knowing and that is why He allowed some of us to become doctors, Engineers, Pilots, etc. Why dont you have faith that you can close your eyes and open it and find yourself in America but you chose to enter aeroplane made from canal things and even being controlled by "sinner pilot" That we are christians should not make us look stupid.

linearity: You are very correct. That is the standard practice. However we have our peculiarities in this country. It is not everyone that enjoys health insurance and most dont cover the drug because it is very expensive for our women to afford. 2 weeks ago, I advised a couple to start making arrangement for the drug, when the made enquiries, the price ranged between N40,000 to N43,000. So cost is a very serious factor hence most doctors resort to giving it after birth. Thanks for this insight. Cheers!! |

This is an interesting piece and one we need to take away some salient facts A woman that is Rhesus negative does not need the injection if her husband or whoever got her pregnant is Rhesus negative. Sensitization would not occur. The problem is whether the woman is sure of who got her pregnant This story shows this woman was already sensitized before her marriage. She has some explanation to give her husband on what happened Women need to know their Rhesus factor as even an abortion is enough to activate sentization . We are all aware how common our woman do abortion these days Finally Rhesus combatibity should be a must for couples intending to marry. If the woman is Rhesus negative the man should be interested in her life history ....any abortion, miscarriage etc 2 Likes |

Switup:you are right. The op has given out the major points about the rhesus factors and you know the case of rehsus negative is very rare, only 15% of the world's population. Here in Nigeria it is most common among the Yorubas than other ethnic groups. It is however very important that we all know our blood group and always move with a tag that indicates our blood group , in case of accident or emergency that might require blood transfusion. A rehsus negative person can not receive blood from a fellow positive person. 1 Like |
