I'm O-neg and have had the anti-D injections too but never heard of invitro transfusions. I would find out more about it, the article Kelly posted explains what normally happens if you are a neg blood type. Good luck.

[Antheia]

Yeah i'm neg too and never had transfusions. Don't need anti-d either.

Im O neg and had the anti D but no transfusions

Hi Sue,
I havent had to have any transfusions yet.

Hi antheia,
Just curious...Why dont you need to have the anti-d? I am O neg as well and have been told I will need to have it at 28weeks and 34 weeks.
I had a miscarriage a year and a half ago and had to have the anti d then as well.

[Antheia]

Hi Ali,i don't need the anti-d because DH is also RH-Neg so no chance of bub being Pos. Both our children are Neg.

[AliBaby]

Thats good. thanks

Netix - would DH consider donating blood? If he does red cross will send him a donor card with his blood type. if he is negative then you dont need to have anti d

I asked the Man's Mum and Dad what type he is, but neither of them were able to tell me (Mum couldn't remember, Dad didnt know). Not sure I understand how you can forget what blood type your own child is? All the Man knows is that he was what was called then a "blue baby".

I would love to donate blood, and I think that would be my ultimate goal of getting past my fear of needles. If I could sit with a needle in me for more than just a few seconds, I will do it. When I was pg with Steph, my Dad actually volunteered to me that if I needed a transfusion that he would gladly give it up for me. I asked the nurse at pathology, and they said it would just go about the way it usually happens, donate, screen or whatever then donation to whoever. My Dad said that O-neg ppl make up only about 5% (I am sure that was the figure, but I could be wrong, so don't quote me on it!) of the population, and our family seems to be it!

I have no idea how the Man feels about it.

Steph wasn't jaundiced, but I don't know of any others to speak of.

O neg here and had a Jaundice baby - under the lights for 48-72 hours - he is a + blood type so we don't mix - but he was also born early so that may have contributed to the jaundice also....who knows thank God it's all gone now though
