It happens when the father is of a positive blood group (having Rhesus (Rh) factor) and mother of a negative blood group (devoid of Rh factor), the fetes' blood group will be of the positive type, i.e., having Rh factor as having Rh factor is a dominant trait and can mask the negative blood group. So, this creates problems for the kid as well as mother during pregnancy. Usually, the first pregnancy will not have much complications. But, the second pregnancy onwards, the antibodies present in the mother from the first pregnancy will be present and is harmful for the fetes.

Erythroblastosis fetalis can be predicted before birth by determining the mother's blood type. If she is Rh-negative, the father's blood is tested to determine whether he is Rh-positive. If the father is Rh-positive, the mother's blood.
In case of erythroblastosis foetalis you have the Rh positive father and Rh negative mother. During delivery or at times abortion of the Rh positive baby, you get blood of mother and baby mixed up. As a result you get the antibodies formed in the blood of mother. These antibodies selectively attack the red blood cells in the next foetus. Then the baby is born will severe anaemia.
Erythroblastosis Fetalis develops in a fetus when IgC molecules are produced and passed to the fetus through the placenta. IgC is an antibody that attacks the red blood cells.

Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment And if not treated.....DEATH! :(
May be you are talking about erythroblastosis fetalis? this hemolytic disease happens to an unborn infant when the mother and baby have different blood types. The mother produces substances called antibodies that attack the developing baby's red blood cells. The most common form of erythroblastosis fetalis is ABO incompatibility, which can vary in severity. The less common form is called Rh incompatibility, which can cause very severe anemia in the baby.
when a Rh+ mother carries a Rh- baby for second time, there is a high risk for the baby to suffer from a fatal disease called erythroblastosis fetalis , so it is necessary for one to know her Rh factor as well as her baby.

What is Erythroblastosis?

the mother with an injection, the drug is called RhoGAM.

erythroblastosis is a very serious condition for approximately 4,000 babies annually. In about 15% of cases, the baby is severely affected and dies before birth.
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.
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is known as erythroblastosis fetalis
