Rhesus neg car seat belt question

[whysoserious]

Had to slam on brakes and stupidly had belt right across bump at the time (annoying because I'm usually so good about that!)

Belt didn't hurt- I don't think it went in that much. Maybe just a bit of pressure at the end but it all happened so fast that I can't tell.

Baby is fine I can feel wriggles.

This is no reason to have anti-d is it? I know responses will say phone midwife if worried but she ALWAYS says go to hospital and they end up giving me anti-d just in case. I understand why they do this and I think they do it if someone phones up so that they can't have any backlash.

I guess what I'm asking is - would you consider this a strong enough force to be concerned about? Or would it need to hurt me / make a mark before anti-d would be needed?

I don't know much about R-/+, but tbqh for the sake of a jab (albeit a painful one) I'd probably think it wasn't worth the risk of avoiding it iykwim? Call the MW/hospital and see what they say.

I doubt it's necessary to be honest. I'm sure you know this but they give the anti d incase any of the baby's blood is exposed to yours and with all the amniotic fluid around baby it doesn't sound like the incident you described would cause any bleeding from baby or placenta. Also, if you've recently had a dose it would probably be enough to cover any minor bleeding that may have been caused.

As far as I am aware, these days you get one dose and it's enough until baby is born when, if baby is positive, they give you another one. I think the liklihood of any bleeding from minor seat belt pressure Is low. Plus, anti d is to protect future babies, not the one you carry as, I assume, they have tested you and found no anti bodies?

I had anti - d a couple of weeks back.

It's just one of those situations where I'm pretty sure the seatbelt didn't tighten much - certainly didn't hurt me, but the shock of the braking and annoyance with myself that my belt was over my bump at the time have clouded my memory of what happened. I was in no way hurt, there are no markings and baby is moving fine. I actually had 2000units of anti- d a couple of weeks back and I know it stays in system for up to 6 weeks.
