RHESUS FACTOR INCOMPATIBILITY

Aside knowing your genotype,

It is very important to know your Rhesus factor.

Know who your rhesus matches with.

Rhesus factor incompatibility is one of the leading causes of miscarriage today.

Its not always about your village people or any evil spirits.

Get educated and be informed.

Rhesus (Rh) factor is a protein that can be present on the surface of the red-blood cell.

People that have the Rh factor are Rh positive (+), those who do not have the Rh factor are Rh negative(-).

The + and - in front of the blood group is the rhesus factor.

So we have A+,A-,O+,O-, B+,B-,AB+,AB-.

Rhesus factor is genetic, it's gotten from the parents emphatically the man.

If you are Rh positive eg (A+,B+,O+,AB+) you are safe, but if you are negative eg (A-,B-,AB-,O-) you're not.

If you're a male Rh-, you are safe, if you are a female, you aren't.

If you, a Rh- woman gets pregnant for a man who is Rh- you are safe, but if you get pregnant for a man who is Rh+ you aren't.

Hope you're getting it?

Most people are Rh positive only very few are negative.

The possibility for a Rh- woman to find a Rh- man is slim. Very slim!

Let's assume Caroline is Rh- and during her school days she aborted a pregnancy, the man who got her pregnant is Rh+, obviously her baby was Rh+.

During abortion, the Rh+ blood came in contact with her Rh- blood.

That was the beginning of her problem.

Once Rh- comes in contact with an Rh+, certain antibodies are activated.

This antibodies are activated to stop anything they think is a threat from coming into the body. E.g a baby.

A Rh- woman with activated antibodies would keep having miscarriages, the antibodies would keep fighting and taking off any foetus.

The woman might end up childless and if not properly informed might think she is under a demonic oppression.

Women with activated antibodies are RH sensitized and once this antibodies are activated it can never be deactivated until the woman dies.

Antibodies are activated in a Rh- woman by abortion, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and child birth.

During child birth of a Rh- woman who got pregnant by a Rh+ man, children inherit their rhesus factor from the man so once the baby's Rh+ comes in contact with the woman Rh- during delivery the antibodies are immediately activated,

so after that particular child birth the woman would keep having miscarriages because the activated antibodies would as usual fight off any foreign body.

The antibodies can be stopped from being activated by administering an injection known as Rh Immunoglobulin to a negative woman .

The injection is administered 28wks into pregnancy, 72 hrs after delivery, after ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or abortion.

If it's not administered and the antibodies are activated, it would never be deactivated.

Mothers tell your girls and sisters, a Rh- girl must be extremely careful.

Because of the very small number of Rh- people, it's extremely rare to find a Rh- man.

The possibility to get pregnant for a Rh+ man is high.

Once she gets pregnant for a positive man and rushes to have a quick abortion, she might have as well jeopardized her life.

Apart from this, a woman with a negative rhesus factor has no problem.

it can however be controlled with Rh Immunoglobulin injection.

A Rh- man or woman cannot receive blood donation from a Rh+. it would lead to death.

It's no longer all about genotype, blood group, or HIV status,

Compatibility checks are very important.

Yes but the woman should get the Rh Immunoglobulin Injection after the first child birth but if she has had a miscarriage or abortion, she could get the injection within a month after the incident to prevent future forced abortion or miscarriage
