I have a bad FFFC.

I'm reading a whole lot of false info here, so here's the break down (sorry if this was clarified, I didn't want to read the whole thing.)

The shot is when the mom is Rh- (doesn't matter O, A, B, or AB) and the father is Rh+ (again, the actual blood type doesn't matter). This means that the dad's blood has a protein that the mom's doesn't. If there's better from the baby, like if his/her side of the placenta gets a cut, there's a chance that the baby's blood might mix a little with the mom's blood. Rh+ tends to be the dominant gene, so chances are, the baby is Rh+. The mom's blood will build up antibodies to the Rh protein and will attack it. Like any other allergic response, you need to be exposed to the thing twice before it'll cause harm. Now while the placenta does not allow blood to cross, the antibodies do, and it can cause harm to the baby, this one (less likely) and future (a lot more likely).

SB, I really would reconsider and get the shot. 1. how do you know that this is your last? You can have another opps or you can change your mind about going for one more 2. God forbid you lose this baby, you may want another 3. if you spot again, it can cause trouble in this pregnancy. 

 

Thank you.

A lot of times, they will have the mother get the shot if she is Rh -,  and not even bother looking to see if the dad is or not. My DH doesn't even know what his blood type is (haha), so if I was Rh - I would just get the shot. I'm O+ though (which is the most COMMON blood type, actually).
