Hey guys so I just had my baby girl at 39 weeks where I was told she had a positive Coombs test and had mild jaundice. I’ve been trying to get answers but have not gotten a single straight one !! I’m o- and baby is B+ I’ve had anti d every time I’ve had even a small bang as per hospitals request I also had the routine dose at 28 weeks. I want to know has anyone else gone through this ?? Is this ABO incompatibility or is it rh disease ?? I just wanted to know if I have been sensitized I’ve asked and asked doctors but no one can give me a straight answer on the likely hood of me being sensitized one doctor said no that this will protect future babies and one said they aren’t sure ? Please anyone who has gone through this can you give me some advice on how to move forward p.s this is my first baby

I would drop a note to your GP to ask them to write to a haematologist/blood specialist under a thing they can do 'Advice & Guidance' to get a more expert answer
