Hi there,

I'm B-neg blood group and have to have the Anti-D shots during my pregnancy and after bub was born. My hubby is a positive type and our DS is B-positive. Alibaby, from what I can gather, bub's blood type could be either/or ... no rhyme or reason to it. Anyway, having the Anti-D shots was no big deal.

Here's a strange but small tip for you if you're not fond of injections ... get your Ob to take the Anti-D out of the fridge when you start your consult (to warm it up a little), then at the end of your consult as they give you the shot, get them to pinch up your skin between their fingers before they stick the needle into the pinched area.That make sense? Anyway, doesn't hurt a bit when they do it this way, I promise! Hmmm ... either that, or the pinching kinda distracts you from the needle. Worked for me, anyway . Oh yeah, my shots were in my upper leg, not my butt.
