Rhesus Negative help

[Hopehope20]

Hi, I am rhesus negative but only now just finding out what that actually means which is quite scary. I had a medical termination last year at just over 6 weeks and I was given the anti D injection. I am currently almost 7 weeks pregnant and at 6 weeks had one spot of blood in my underwear. No more than that and nothing else since. I am now wondering if I should have had an anti D shot after that? Any advice from fellow rhesus negative ladies?

I dont know everything about it but I'm rhesus negative and for me there was nothing different/worrying until 20 weeks when I was given the anti d injection. I'm told after the birth I will also need a further injection if he/she is positive.

Midwife told me if you spot/bleed after 12 weeks they would give you anti D then

I'm rhesus negative and thought so long as you've had he anti D injection previously, no need for concern

Please don’t worry. I an rh negative and went through a miscarriage and then 2 pregnancies. Midwives etc are well informed now and I did not get injections until late in the pregnancies. The NCT website has info as does the NHS. Hope all is well

I didn’t have to have anti D for early spotting, but I did later on in the pregnancy. I did have quite a few injections due to the number of bleeds I had but baby and I were both fine.

No need for spotting pre 12 weeks.

I work in blood transfusion and we wouldn’t issue anti-D for a painless bleed before 12 weeks.

Thank you so much everyone. Not worried at all now 😊

You also only need it if the Dad is rhesus positive, not if he is rhesus negative

I had spotting two or three times up until 13 weeks, and didn't have the anti d. Had it at 27 weeks and then once my DD was born I had another one as she is positive

Thank you 😁

I am rhesus negative and had spotting for around 6 weeks with DC2. I asked about anti-d and they said they don't give until 16weeks+ for spotting. Like you,I also had an anti-d shot after a medical termination around 10 years ago. All sounds right to me.

Midwife here, you don't need it that early. If I was you I would have the babies father tested as if he is also rhesus negative there is no need for it at all.

Thank you ladies. You have all really helped with the red alert panic level! Usual service has resumed!
