Having a negative RH When looking up online with a incomplete miscarriage ifyou have a negative blood type you need a…

Thank you everyone the doctor at the maternity clinic told me to come in today to have it done for a precaution :)

I've just had a miscarriage and they said I didn't need it as pregnancy was so early. And miscarriage was nothing to do with my being rh neg either.

With my daughter I had a jab half way through pregnancy and again once she was born as she has positive blood type.

Hope this helps x

You need it in 72 of starting a micarry? If so should I take it tommrow (Sunday) then have the shot Monday?

Yep, you need a shot. I'm O- and had to have one when I had my miscarriage

I'm B- and I just got a shot. I'm not miscarrying this pregnancy but I am at risk so they gave me the shot because my fiancé has O+

I think it depends whether your child is - or +. If you are both - I don't think there is a problem. But don't quote me on that!

I am negative and had the shot with my miscarriage

Thanks everyone I still haven't miscarried yet I'm taking misoprostol but been waiting after I moved today they had to send me for blood work to prove my blood type then I get the shot but idk when I should start that pill since its weekend here tomorrow and I would need the shot in 72 hours of bleeding?

I had my D&C today and I'm RH negative, they gave me the shot at the hospital. The Doc explained you always need one after any birth/miscarriage. I hope this helps you.

I'm a- and had the rhogam shot after my d&c (dec 13th) after they did the surgery she gave me the shot the same day. You're supposed to get it any time you have a bleed, or half way thru pregnancy after they test your blood, and after giving birth

Hi, I have a negative rhesus (A-). I had a miscarriage on 8 January at 21 weeks and got my shot. The doctor said the shot should be taken up to 72 hours after birth. It helps your next pregnancy.

Thanks Natalie. Sx

You can have further blood work done to see if the antibodies are in your blood. I'd definitely recommend it for both of you ladies. Ask your doctor... It's a simple, single vial of blood and they can see if the Rhogam is still working.

I had a natural mc at 10 1/2 weeks last April and I didn't get the injection. I phoned the hospital and they said they don't routinely give it unless its a medical mc. Even tho it was nearly a year ago, are my future pregnancies at risk now?? Sx

You should get the shot if you are negative blood type. Rhogan I believe is what its called and if you have a miscarriage and do not get the shot it could cause your body to attack your fetus in your next pregnancy see a doctor asap.

My gut is telling me I didn't have enough antibodies in me and my body attacked it :/ cuz everything else was normal

Can you miscarry if you don't? I keep questioning cuz my first pregnancy was fine and I had the shot I think when I was halfway or little over halfway pregnant with my first but didn't get a shot after giving birth.

I'm A- and get the Rhogam shot after any bleeding, within hours after birth and half way through pregnancy. I have to get it because dh has a positive blood type.

I am o negative and have my D&C on Tuesday, I believe they will give it to me at the hospital but I will ask. Thanks for bringing this up.

I'm O negative as well if you are miscarrying you need to go in for a Rhogam injection.

You definitely need the shot. I'm O- and have had it after every bleed, miscarriage and birth. And it has to be within 72 hours of it starting.

I have A+ so I didn't have to get the shot but my DR tested my blood when I miscarried because she said if I was O- I would have to have a shot.. I'm sorry!
