When Rh negative mother is carrying Rh positive baby, mothers immune system starts rejecting baby's rhesus factor as a foreign particle, when foetomaternal blood is mixed. So baby's blood gets destroyed and blood cell leads to die. This is the cause of erythroblastosis foetalis also known as Hemolytic disease in new born. Baby may die or end up with jaundice.
