When I was pregnant with ds I had the anti d injections at 28 and 34 weeks as I am Rhesus Negative. I didn't require an injection after the birth as ds was tested and he was also Rhesus Negative. I'm not quite sure why the injections were required during pregnancy as I had not had any miscarriages previously.
I am pregnant again and expected to have the anti d injections at 28 and 34 weeks. Are they really necessary? Can they not wait until after the birth and give me one then if the baby turns out to be Rhesus Positive? We don't plan on having anymore children.
TIA
