No, it's not. I am Rh- with a positive husband and we had our three sons easily. If your OB is not already aware, I'm sure blood work will be done, and a big orange sticker will be put in your chart that you are Rh- so that the appropriate shots may be administered. I am now 37 and it's taking us longer to conceive, so age does make a difference. I was, however, pregnant back in June, bu sadly miscarried. We became pregnant rather quickly, on our first try as a matter of fact. I also have other problems, i.e., tilted and septated uterus with an incompetent cervix, and I still went on to have my first three children quite easily and with only minimal complications.
If both parents have the same Rh factor (positive or negative), there is no risk of Rh incompatibility that could affect future pregnancies. Rh factor only becomes a concern when the mother is Rh-negative and the father is Rh-positive, which can lead to Rh incompatibility in the fetus.
Pregnancy complications related to blood types include Rh incompatibility, where the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive, leading to potential issues like hemolytic disease of the newborn. ABO incompatibility can also cause problems, such as jaundice in the baby. These complications can be managed with proper medical care during pregnancy.
Having a negative rh blood type can seriously affect pregnancy and should be monitored closely. The possible incompatibility between the mother and the fetus could result in the mothers antibodies attacking the fetus as if it were a virus. This can be prevented by a shot roughly 28 weeks into the pregnancy.
The serum used to prevent sensitization to Rh antigens is called Rh immune globulin (RhIG) or RhoGAM. It is typically given to Rh-negative mothers during pregnancy or after giving birth to prevent their immune system from developing antibodies against Rh-positive red blood cells in case of Rh incompatibility between the mother and baby.
A Rh negative mother can have multiple pregnancies and children without any issues. However, if the mother's blood type is Rh-negative and the father's is Rh-positive, there may be a risk of Rh incompatibility in subsequent pregnancies. This can be managed with medical interventions like Rh immunoglobulin to prevent complications.
Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother is Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive, leading to the mother's immune response attacking the fetus' red blood cells. ABO incompatibility, on the other hand, happens when the mother has antibodies against the A or B antigens present on the baby's blood cells, leading to hemolysis. Both conditions can result in jaundice and anemia in newborns, but they involve different blood antigens.
big butts I like
NISHOT statistics include mistransfusion and ABO/Rh-incompatibility.

If a person has the Rh factor, then they are positive. If they don't have the Rh factor, they are negative. The Rh factor is dominant, so a mother with it would have an Rh positive baby even if the father is negative for the Rh factor.
The risk of Rh incompatibility arises when the mother is Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive. In this case, the first pregnancy is usually not at high risk, but subsequent pregnancies can be affected if the mother has been sensitized to the Rh antigen. To prevent complications, the mother may receive Rh immunoglobulin to prevent sensitization.
Yes. They give you an injection to counteract the rh factor incompatibility.
if O- mother consives A+ OR B- baby any foetal A or B TYPE RBC ENTERING THE MOTHERS blood cells are quickly distroyed by her anti-A or anti-B antibodies before she can form -Rh antibodies
A person who is Rh negative and pregnant, has had a miscarriage, abortion, or amniocentesis, or has an injury or bleeding during pregnancy would likely be given a shot of RhoGam to prevent Rh incompatibility issues with future pregnancies.
The most severe form of erythroblastosis fetalis is that resulting from Rh incompatibility. But you can have erythroblastosis fetalis with ABO incompatibility as well. And this can occur with any child, even the first, and even with an Rh-negative child. However, if you're referring to Rh-incompatibility erythroblastosis fetalis, the answer to your question is, "Not usually" (assuming she hasn't had a previous Rh-positive child). In Rh-incompatibility, erythroblastosis fetalis occurs with the woman's second Rh-positive child. The first Rh-positive child's blood gets into the mother's bloodstream (e.g. at childbirth). The mother's blood makes antibodies to Rh. Since the first child is already born, this does not affect the first child. Then, when she has a second Rh-positive child, her antibodies cross the placenta and attack that child's blood cells. On the other hand, if the mother is exposed to the Rh factor of the first child's blood earlier in the pregnancy somehow, then I suppose she could develop enough antibodies to cause a problem for that first child.

ABO incompatibility can also cause problems, such as jaundice in the baby. These complications can be managed with proper medical care during pregnancy.
If the first child was Rh positive it is less likely that the jaundice was due to Rh incompatibility unless you had an abortion earlier and did not take anti D. ABO incompatibility is more likely. If you took anti D after the first delivery because the first child was Rh positive then second child may not be affected.
