A pregnant woman is at risk if she is Rh negative and her partner, and in turn, baby are Rh positive. While carrying the baby, the mother's blood, which is Rh negative, may mix with the baby's Rh positive blood. The mother's body will create antibodies to the Rh factor and treat the baby as if it foreign. The body would almost have an "allergic reaction" to the baby, so to speak. The antibodies would start to attack the baby's red blood cells and the baby would develop anemia which could become severe and dangerous. Thankfully screening can determine if a mother is Rh negative and she will be given an injection that will suppress her reaction to Rh positive cells in her fetus.
