Rh- High Risk Pregnancy

Hello I am O- and RH- I found out at my 7 week appointment that I had already sensitized and that the Rhogam shot will not be effective. This is my 2nd pregnancy. My son is 12. He had complications in the form of severe Jaundice and his bilirubin count at birth was 25.5. Luckily the light therapy worked for him but it was a very scary situation. Now with this pregnancy, I have to go to a specialist every 2 weeks and monitor the baby's anemia levels in uterus. If her levels get higher than 150 we will be admitted to the hospital and they will proceed to do a Blood transfusion to her in uterus. Both of my grandmothers are O- RH- as well as one of my cousin. My cousin had to have the in uterus blood transfusion with her 3rd pregnancy (which is normally when the highest complications arise with the RH- issues). I have been told since I sensitized so early it would be best to not have anymore children after this one. So I will be getting my tubes tied after this miracle baby.

    I am RH negative too. There is a blood test out there by sequonem laboratory that predicts the rh factor for the baby. I am waiting for the results.

    It's scary! My baby is Rh+ which is why I am having such issues. My Husband is A+ and I am O-. My son who is 12 is O+ they actually think most of my issues started with him and that is why it carried over even 12 yrs later. Hope your pregnacy goes nice and smooth for you.

    I became Rh-sensitized during my first pregnancy back in 2007 (I found out when I went to get the Rhogam shot, which of course I ended up not being able to get).  I've since had three healthy babies, though I always have to see a specialist for ultrasounds and non-stress tests.  The only issue was some mild jaundice for two of the babies.  Currently pregnant with #4 and hoping for the best.  My husband had a blood test and we only make positive-type babies, so all of my pregnancies are high-risk.
