What happen if you give RH- person RH plus blood if they have already been exposed to RH plus blood?
it will cause hypersensitization in RH- person
How dangerous is it for two Rh negative blood type people to try to have a child?
No, complications occur between Rh- and Rh+. If you happened to be Rh- and your husband was Rh+ that would could cause problems for you because of the chance the child could be Rh+.
Is it true Rh incompatibility between a sensitized Rh woman and an Rh- fetus can cause hemolytic disease of the newborn?

How does Rh factor affect a fetus?
When a mother is Rh negative and her baby is Rh positive, she may develop antibodies to the baby's blood that will cause it to hemolyze
Under what conditions might a person with Rh-blood develop Rh antibodies?
The first time an Rh- patient receives blood from an Rh+ donor, the Rh- patient will develop Rh agglutinins (agglutinins=antibodies) in the blood plasma. If the patient receives another Rh+ donation, it will cause agglutination, or clumping of the blood. The red blood cell membranes become leaky and hemoglobin pours into the blood. A possible cause is kidney failure due to excess hemoglobin at filtration sites.
Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?
A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component. PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma
What is RH typing?
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.
What Rh factor combinations could cause agglutination of an infant's red blood cells?
A baby's Rh type is inherited from the parents. A pregnant woman is at risk of problems with Rh sensitization if she is Rh-negative and the father of her baby is Rh-positive. http://pregnancy.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Rh_Factor

My blood type is A- while my husbands is 0 positive . Will this cause problems when trying to get pregnant and through the pregnancy?
The Rh factor difference can, potentially, cause problems (due to the fact that you are Rh- and your husband is Rh+). Consult your physician (Ob-Gyn) about this issue, as part of pregnancy and childbirth planning.
Why would there be cause of concern if a pregnant mother is Rh- and her husband is Rh and this is their second child?
If the second child is Rh+ and the mother did not take RhoGAM, there is a chance that the child will develop erythroblastosis fetalis and die before birth.
Do only women have to be concerned with the Rh factor?
No, both men and women should be concerned with the Rh factor. The Rh factor is a protein found on red blood cells, and it can cause complications during pregnancy if a woman is Rh-negative and her partner is Rh-positive. It is important for both partners to be aware of their Rh status to prevent such complications.
