Anyone else Rhesus negative?

I've had a letter come saying that my blood group is O negative and have got an appointment for an Anti-D injection.

Is anyone else having this??

I'm Rhesus - too, so far I've had one anit-d at 28 weeks in my right bum cheek- this was routine. And then due to two lots of bleeding I had to have two last week (because there was more than 72 hours between the bleeds), one in the left bum cheek and another in the right- they let me choose They have to be given into a muscle and not a vein and I think they avoid the stomach area due to pregnancy.

I've another glorius anti-d two weeks today which is a routine 34 week one. They do sting a bit but it's over within seconds, they'll also check your blood for rhesus anti bodies at 28 and 34 weeks. The routine anti-d's at 28 and 34 are precautionary and also if your partner is rhesus - you won't need them at all as there is no chance of the baby have rhesus + blood.

Im O Neg too

Have first one at 28 weeks with bloods then again at 34 weeks and you may need one if baby's blood different to yours so i gather max is three!

Hope this helps
