    question for the rhesus neg mummies

    Hi ladies, im wondering if anyone who is rhesus negative can give me some advice please?

    I am rhesus negative and had shots during my last pregnancy (after my amnio and again after a bleed) but wasnt given one after the birth, so i assume dd has a negative blood type too.

    My question is, as i didnt have a shot after her birth, do my chances of producing antibodies increase this time round and should i ask for a shot?

    I meant to talk to my gp about it but dd screams the place down everytime we go to the dr so spent the whole appt trying to talk to the dr, calm dd, and try to make out everything the dr was saying as i could barely hear him over dd and he has a very strong accent so its not easy at the best of times and basically i forgot to ask in all of that. My next appt is not for 4 weeks, and i dont want to wait that long not knowing.

    i am probably stressing over nothing, any advice or experiences other rh- mummies have had with subsequent pregnancies would be great, thanks.
