Hi,
I miscarried recently and didn't need a D&C. I am RhD-Negative and my partner is RhD-Positive so I was expecting a shot of anti-D before I start trying again. Hospital policy during the miscarriage stated I did not need the anti-D because it was unlikely that I had developed the antibodies. I am worried that that there could be a small bleed during my next pregnancy (which could create the antibodies) before the first 8 week appointment, as they will only administer the anti-D then. Has anybody requested to have the shot before they start trying again? So far I have been unsuccessful trying. The other problem I have is that my maternity hospital is not the hospital I was admitted too for the miscarriage. Each don't have all the information together to make a decision. NHS aaarrggghhhh!!
Any advise would be very welcome. Thanks
