  The other day my midwife told me I'll need to get one 'around 30 weeks', and then after the baby is born (if the kiddo is in fact rh+).

  Side note: I also found out from all my blood tests that my rubella vaccine is 'fading' and I have to get another one of those after I have the baby too!

  So many needles!

  My Dr. told me at 28 weeks and one after birth if baby is +. Your Dr. should inform you of how they are going to deal with it. They also told me if I were to have any bleeding now they would give me one. Good luck.

  Depends on the situation.

  I had one when they did my amnio (15.5 weeks) because i'm O neg, husband is O pos.

  From what they told me at the doctor's office, they only last a few weeks so I will have to have a second around the 28 week mark (as previous posters mentioned) to protect me during the delivery. Then if the baby is pos, another after birth.

  Frankly, it's not a big deal at all. Small shot in the butt, relatively small needle, it just has to go in a little slower than your average shot because it's a thick serum.

  If you've ever had a depo or progesterone shot, it's about the same thing. Piece of cake.

   I laughed when they gave it to me and said "seriously, that's what all the fuss is about? I've had more pain stubbing my toe."

  I got one when I was 8 weeks because I was bleeding. I will be getting my 28 week shot Monday, then I will get another shot after delivery only if the baby is Rh+. If the baby is Rh-, I won't need a shot.
