hey all routing blood tests shown up i was a kell carier and i had come into contact with anotehr blood group some time within the last 8 years of having my son.my partner has been tested for it and is negative so the most likley form of me geting it would have been from a miscarage i had between first pregnancy and this one and the baby would have been my partners blood group and when i have miscaried the babys blood and mine has mixed,.they told me basicaly that the kell antibody in my blood will go through the placenter and distroy the babys red blood cells making it anemic and this may result in me having regular blood transfusions into the womb via a needle through my stomach.i am scared whitless.just had my 12 week scan i was inface 13 weeks and all going fine despite the HG wish is easing up big time now and im eating and drinking properly again.
what scares me is that the baby may have to be deliverd at 34 weeks if the kell levels rise and if i was to have any more pregnancys the more at risk i put the unborn child.this pregnancy now was unexpected we wernt having any more and my o.h is going for the snip to prevent any more unexpected pregnancies.we just got our head around having another then i was struck with terrible sickness for 5 weeks all over xmas now this,i am under a consultant and have 2 have bloods took every 4 weeks and at my 20 week scan they will see how much blood of flowing through the baby if its going through its head too fast i will have to go to newcastle to be transfused and i may have 2 go every 2 weeks depending on the levels of anemia in the baby and when its born it could be serverely jaundice and need a transfusion right away,
its all too much to take in im preying some 1 can help me out from experiance and advise me on their out come ect .looking forward to hearing from you,
