Is anyone rhesus negative?

[daisygirlmac]

Hi everyone

I miscarried last week at 11 weeks (first pregnancy) and was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of trying again but being rhesus negative? I can't really find any information. I had an anti-D injection whilst in hospital last week but was wondering if it was a bigger risk factor now or if it would be sorted out from the anti-D I've already had.

I also have a question mark over having a heart shaped uterus and was just thinking over everything tonight. I am going to see my GP about that to see what next steps are and whether or not I can get that confirmed before we try again but everyone I have seen so far has been next to useless on rhesus negative. I have had to remind all medical staff at every stage so just wanted to see if anyone could give me any more info about their experiences so I'm better informed next time.

Rhesus neg won't place you at higher risk as you had the anti d after your loss.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

Once you have the anti-D you are fine, as juno says. I am rhesus negative and I am pregnant with my third baby.

I've no first hand experience of a heart shaped uterus but my friend has one and she's currently 39 weeks with her first baby

The anti d injection should have stopped you forming any of the potentiality dangerous antibodies. I'm sure if you are really worried you could request a blood test to make sure you have no antibodies.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm Rh- and my understanding is as long as you've had anti-D you should be fine with subsequent pregnancies. It's very hard as the patient trying to figure out how it affects us but most medical professionals consider Rh- to be a rather minor issue very easily addressed with the shot. On the other side of the table we tend to worry!

Sorry for your loss and best of luck with trying again.

I'm Rhs-. I completely forgot I was until I had a knock the other day and was reminded that I needed a shot. I think its just managed with an injection and as long as you have it, it shouldn't cause any further complications.

So sorry for your loss xx

Yes I'm rhesus -ve and have two children. I had to have the anti D after my last birth as my baby is a positive blood group. But not after my first birth as he is negative too like me. I had the anti d during both pregnancies. You should be fine, sorry for your loss.

I'm Rh- , which I found out after my miscarriage (first pregnancy) in April this year. Had the anti-D injection after surgery and that was that. Am now 18 weeks pregnant (waited for first period after mc then conceived the next cycle) and just have to have another couple of injections later on during the pregnancy. Being Rh- is not a risk factor for miscarriage. Best of luck for the future and trying again when you're ready.

Me too! My sister is as well, and had 2 healthy children. I'm now 21 wks and doing fine but will need a jab! I think, as another poster said, it's not considered a big deal these days! The jab you already had should provide some protection for a subsequent pregnancy but they will have it all on your notes and may give you another jab later on! I get mine at 28 weeks I believe.

Thanks everyone, that's put my mind at rest on one thing!
