O rhs neg?

[laurat]

Hi I had an early miscarriage at 6 weeks last week. I am a big reader and even before the m/c I knew that as my blood type is O rhs negative and my husband is positive there may be complications. Mainly in a second pregnancy.

However many books and I now argue that when I hopefully get pregnant again it should count as a second so feel that I should get the preventative jag now. I spoke to the m/w who I think was surprised that I knew so much and she went away to check. She came back and said as it was before 12 weeks they dont give it anymore. She said that a lot of people dont even know there pregnant at this point.

Well I did and feel I should get it just incase. I wonder if it is another money saving excercise with the NHS. Dont prevent until something goes wrong. Anyone know anything abour this or had the jag?

Hey hun, i had a MMC at 11 weeks and D&C, baby had developed to 7 weeks.

After the surgery i was given the Anti-D jab as i have B Rhesus neg blood group. I'm not sure if the same applies for a natural miscarrage. I would double check this with your doctor.

Well that blows her theory that you dont get it under 13 weeks. Unless its to do with the d&c. Im not happy though so Im questioning it again on Tues when I go in again. Ill also ask my close friend who is a doctor. He will give me yhe truthful answer if its a cost cutting thing. Ill even pay if I have to. Ive been right about everything so far. The loss of symptoms and the doctor ignored me! Bleeding the next weekend and in A&E! Miscarriage as I just knew! All i wanted was my levels checked or an early scan. Would still have been the same outcome but a day in A&E avoided!

sorry you have had a bad time, when i had my blood grouping done when mmc was confirmed i got a card through the post saying that if i had bleeding during pregnancy i would have to get another jab too, hope you get some answers, let us know how you get on

Heya hun, I had 3 m/c before this baby, and I'm o rh negative, I am afraid that they will not give u the jab before 12 weeks as with this baby I bleed every few weeks, but now I'm nearly 26 weeks has been hard but u will get there in the end x

 

[LouLou1986]

Also u shuda had the jab after ur first baby, and you can request a blood test to check ur anti-bodies to see if you need the jab as that normally tells you and they often go by that

26 weeks thats great news! Congratulatioms. Were the m/c and bleeding linked to you being O rhs negative? Should I be worried?

Hi I also am O rhs negative. Had MMC at 10 weeks, baby had developed to 6 1/2 weeks. I had d&c and got Anti D jab straight after. My sister is same blood group and is due her 1st baby next week with no complications throughout the pregnancy.

Hope you get your answers next week. xx

tbh they was very early like six weeks so didnt get tested, but the bleeds i had with this one has nothing to do with my blood group its because i have a low placenta and when it was inbedding the blood came out quicker if you get me? i surgest you ask for a blood test to check ur anti-bodies and keep trying and dnt worrie thats the worse thing you can do as your stressing your body, you will get there

I was right again! Knew I was!

Well back from the epu and they are adament that I dont need the anti -d shot as it was a complete misscarriage and I had no d&c. They showed me their laminated guidelines that show it. Dont know if Im just being paranoid and should just let it lie!

I have had 2 miscarriages before 13 weeks, first one I lost at 5weeks, 2nd one was a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks, baby developed to 7. I'm Rhesus A negative. In my third pregnancy which was successful I had the anti-d jab at 28 weeks.

Different health authorities may do it differently though, I live in NE Derbyshire.
