am rh-.

have read that if i have a knock after 12 weeks then i need a jab, is that right? what do they mean by knock? would dd2 accidently landing on my stomache when i'm aslepe count as a knock?

would dd3 running into me count?

or do they mean something major like me falling over onto my bump? or me running into a wall face on (highly unlikely but i do sleepwalk so i guess i could do something mad like that)

hi misdee i think that they mean if you actually fall over i thnk it has to be a pretty big knock as the waters willcushion the baby

i had a bit of a bleed awhile ago and had to have the anti d jab but she said that the odds i actually needed it were slim

I wouldn't worry about it unless you have a bleed. I was told with ds2 that everytime I had a bleed I had to go in for a shot until I got the 28 weeks shot and after that I would be covered.

midwife told me Ds bumping stomach doesn't count unless he runs from across the room and really ridiculously headbutts you straight in the tum. Otherwise it was described as if you're in a car accident and the belt pulls very tight across your bump or if you have a nasty fall (like maybe down the stairs or off a bike).
Or any bleeding at all.

But I was told even if you have the 28 weeks shot then you should call them and tell them about any of the above happening, because you would probably still have to have the jab again.
