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.

IgG is the class of immunoglobulin responsible for the development of erythroblastosis fetalis. It can cross the placenta from a mother who is Rh-negative to a fetus who is Rh-positive, leading to hemolytic disease in the newborn.
The main concern is the risk of maternal antibodies attacking the Rh-positive fetal blood cells, leading to hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) or erythroblastosis fetalis. This can result in severe anemia, jaundice, and other complications in the newborn. Treatment with Rho(D) immune globulin can prevent this by suppressing the maternal immune response.
Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs when an Rh-negative mother is sensitized to the Rh antigen from an Rh-positive fetus during pregnancy or delivery, leading to the mother's immune system producing antibodies against the Rh antigen. In subsequent pregnancies with Rh-positive fetuses, these antibodies can cross the placenta and attack the fetal red blood cells, leading to hemolysis and potentially severe complications for the fetus.
Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs when a mother with Rh-negative blood type is sensitized to Rh-positive blood through a previous pregnancy or blood transfusion, leading to the production of antibodies that attack Rh-positive red blood cells in a subsequent Rh-positive fetus. This results in hemolysis of the fetal red blood cells, leading to anemia and other complications in the fetus.
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.

IgG is the class of immunoglobulin responsible for the development of erythroblastosis fetalis. It can cross the placenta from a mother who is Rh-negative to a fetus who is Rh-positive, leading to hemolytic disease in the newborn.
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
Erythroblastosis fetalis is a potentially life threatening blood disorder in fetus or new born infant. It happens when the mother possesses Rh negative blood where the foetus posses Rh positive blood which turns it weak anaemic nd jaundiced or in severe case death of the foetus occurs..
Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented by treating Rh incompatibility between the mother and fetus. This involves giving the mother Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) during pregnancy and after delivery to prevent her immune system from producing antibodies against the baby's red blood cells.

The first child born of a female is generally not at risk for erythroblastosis fetalis because the mother's immune system has not been exposed to the fetal blood antigens and therefore has not produced antibodies against it. However, by the second pregnancy there is a slight risk if the blood type of the fetus is not compatible with the mother's blood type.
