You’re rhesus negative? You get an anti D shot around 28 weeks I think then one again after baby is born. When you’re next pregnant let your doctor know your blood type and they will arrange it for you. I’m sorry for your loss.

@squishymommy1 yah I'll get results when they call me or when I make time to call .

@oreho, Have they checked you for antibodies? I would call and find out. If they told you that your miscarriage was due to blood incompatibility issues it can be quite a few different things...KELL, ABO incompatibility, sensitized. You need to know what the issue is exactly. If there is one.

@squishymommy1 I don't know what sensitized is l

@mizzvuitton, which is why I asked if she’s sensitized. Because THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. If she’s sensitized she can’t prevent it and she needs to be under the care of an MFM.

@squishymommy1 And that is your choice. Op simply asked what she could do to prevent it. Not what to do so it can happen again. We are trying to be helpful not negative, She just lost her baby for goodness sake.

@squishymommy1, quick question. Do you really think this is the post to keep going and going at it with some else? This woman doesn’t need this in her post. If you want why no dm mizz.

@mizzvuitton, we all weigh risk differently.

@mizzvuitton, not really, just informed and made an informed choice. It’s only a 2% chance of sensitization with our blood type combo. I was absolutely 100% comfortable taking that risk given that I already have homebirths so a lot of the “blood mixing” that happens in the hospital with the placenta handling is negated. I’m 100% not ok with having a blood product being injected into me for prophylactic reasons.

I personally would never risk my babies. 😐

@squishymommy1 You must be very lucky! lol..

@mizzvuitton, nope! 3 are + and 3 are - none of them have my blood type.

Or all your kids the same blood type as you?? Just trying to wrap my head around you willing to take the risk.
I know my husband is B+ So i knew i had a bigger chance of being sensitized.

@mizzvuitton, he’s B+ I’m A-. Only the babies who didn’t have extended cord clamping and cutting had jaundice (and both were - blood type). My 3 + babies had zero jaundice!

@squishymommy1 Let me ask you this is your husband O neg as well and did any of your kids have anemia or jaundice?
