So I'm RH negative and 37 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. My doctor forgot all about it ...even though I brought it up months ago. I'm now freaking out! Now both my husband and I are being sent for blood tests. Him to check his blood type and me to check if I have antibodies. No one ever told me what my first child's blood type is either...sigh

  • Loading the player...
  • I am O neg and just went ahead and got the RH shot last week at 31 weeks. I had moved and jumped to multiple doctors which postponed everything but from my understanding the doctor said everything should be alright. Hopefully the same goes for you!
  • With your first child, did you get the shot after birth?


  • Husband is O- so everything is ok
  • Already dealing with the stress of attempting a vbac...didn't need this too
  • Good news! And GL with your VBAC :)

  • Sometimes we have to take responsibility with our own medical care. If u know u need something, u need to talk to ur doctor about it.
