I'm A- and need the anti-d injection while pg. Also once Nina was born they had to test her blood type straight away, as she is A+ I had to get another anti-d shot after having her.
The reason for the anti-d shots is that her blood was foreign blood in my system. So next time I'm pregnant, if it's foreign blood again, then my body will attack these and I may lose the baby.
That's a very quick and short way of putting it. Hope it makes some sense.
I am a bit confused about this as I am A+ but my last visit to the hospital they said there was some problem and they need to keep an eye on it, something to do with the rhesus factor thing and my antibodies.
I have never had a problem before and wonder why it has changed.
