Positive Antibody E

Have any of you experienced positive antibody E during pregnancy? At my OB apt this week my doctor said my blood work came back showing this. Jaundice and anemia are the concerns for baby. They'll do another blood test in 4 weeks (my next appt) to make sure the levels aren't rising.

From what I've gathered from my OB and on Google it can cause hemolytic disease of the fetus or newborn (not enough red blood cells). My OB said my values were just outside normal so he's not too concerned, but I've been anemic in the past so I'm hoping I've not passed this on.

    I haven't experienced this, but I'm thinking of you! Glad your doctor is on top of it while not being super worried.

  • No experience. Glad your case is not extreme and your Ob isnt too concerned.
