Keep positive. Ask your ob if you need the rhogam shot since you have a negative blood type. I am A- and with both of my pregnancies, I needed the rhogam shots. Basically when you have a neg blood type, there is a higher risk of miscarriage if your baby has a positive blood type. Your body thinks it is an infection or something that shouldn't be in your body and starts attacking it (like when you are sick), therefore causing a miscarriage. The rhogam shots trick your body into thinking the baby has the same blood type and therefore prevents the miscarriage for that reason. With my first, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but my ob gave me the shot (you get one at the beginning of the 1st and 3rd trimesters and possibly after you deliver depending on the baby's blood type). With my second pregnancy, my first appointment was at 8 weeks with the ob and at 6-7 weeks with the nurse. The day of my appointment with the nurse, I started bleeding heavily (like 2nd day period bleeding) so I immediately went in to the doctors and the nurse sent me to L&D to get a vaginal ultrasound to see if there was a heartbeat, even though at 6-7 weeks there is only a 50/50 chance of even seeing a heartbeat even with a healthy pregnancy. Thankfully my cervix was thick and closed and they found the heartbeat. But they still told me that I had a threatened miscarriage because of the amount that I was bleeding. Long story short, they gave me the rhogam shot and my bleeding stopped and I was able to carry my little girl to term with no other complications. So my advice is to ask your ob about the rhogam shot and try to stay positive :-) good luck mamas!

May I ask if they ever knew the cause of why your family members weren't able to carry to term? I have O- blood and so do 2 of my sisters. Both of my sisters have experienced at least 1 miscarriage but it was not due to their blood type. Just be strong and know that whatever happens, it's the plan for you and your family!

All you can do is stay positive as well as stress is not good just always hope for the best
