When an Rh positive man impregnates an Rh negative woman, her body rexognises the Rh+ antigen as foreign and then produces antibodies to counter it. Let me digress a bit and explain what antigen and antibody mean.

What if the reverse is the case that is an Rh- negative man and a Rh+ positive woman?

Then nothing happens to the woman. Rh-negative man doesn't have Rhesus factor so the woman's body wont get sensitized.

And because the woman is Rh-positive, she wont have any Rhesus factor pregnancy complications

i think you got the abiku part very wrong. The second conception the foetus or the cell are attacked. It would never be born not to talk of dying.

They didn’t

A lot of women were punished and condemned for being “witches”.

Learn your history

How come our fathers who were born when this wasn't public knowledge survived without all this antigen this and that bullcrap, cuz I even heard my grand father was born at home without the aid of a hospital or some educated midwife, no ante natal he survived, make una tune down this una sturv, it's causing panic and confusion, now I'm so scared of having a child.

Erythrocytosis fetalis.

Erythroblastosis fetalis

I didn't read the post but I believe PitObi cannot be president of Nigeria untill 3030

Imagine someone read every comment before your own and now said "mumu" when they got to your senseless comment and quickly scroll up, that's what I just did and am very sure many nairalanders did same

Donake:
Silence everywhere because it's not politics in the jungle. Rhesus factor is an important part of marriage,so we reduce the number of mortality in Nigeria since we haven't found our Anti-D either.

People need food now,not treatment for something

alternatively you can use rogam injection immediately after birth or abortion

says who. Why do you think we have a lot of witches and abiku then. Women that only gave birth to only one offspring and they have miscarriage after another and they will be labelled witches

They didn't how? If my grad dad hadn't survived I wouldn't have been born, so what do you mean.

StJasper:


Stupidity seems to be flowing in your DNA.
Did you read it anywhere in the post that it is affecting everyone?
Please get a brain.

And what's flowing in your own DNA, pig too dey get opinion? Abeg get lost, irrelevance pretending to be human.

You don't understand, my grand dad had many wives, over 25 children, no abiku, witches or whatever, I no know how I go take explain am again, they had no knowledge of this rhesus factor back then.

Go for Rh compartibility test before taking her to the alter, this is aside other medical examinations such as HIV, gynotype, blood group.

Educative article!

God bless pa Harrison for saving as much lives

cos they were lucky... He is not Rh + you fuckin grandad isn't Rh +

Not necessarily. Some may never be born (miscarried) while some maybe stillborn. So when you check their RBCs, you would see lots of hemolysis reason for the name; "erythroblastosis fetalis". In all, it depends on the antibody titre in the mother.

Of course, while checking for ABO blood grouping it will be done. But it cannot stop a marriage from happening. The woman only needs to be aware that she would take RHOGAM after her first pregnancy.

Who say education na scam again?

It’s generalization baby

I don’t know how to explain it to you

That your grandad survived doesn’t mean everyone else from that time did. Many died from preventable conditions and many women were wrongly accused and punished for things they didn’t understand

Hermaphrodite2:



Erythroblastosis fetalis

Thanks for correction.

saddler:


Once again knowledge has been itself as power.

Hardwork and knowledge is all it takes to solve problems not prayers, fasting and faith.

I hope that one day Nigerians will invest their time into Hardwork and knowledge instead of religion. Then we will start to see the prosperity we all yearn for.

RELIGION IS not a problem
There are people who do not play religion but they have empty brain

Alright I get you now, so it was a thing then but people were ignorant.

I had Rhogham shots on my lap immediately after I put to bed

Did that for all my three kids

lol, soon getting someone suitable to marry would be very rare, I ain't done with genotype and the rest now I've got to worry about some rhesus factor too?

The Rh Factor is derived from the Rhesus monkey. I thought it's a racial stuff associated with Neanderthal genetic builds.

Exactly

And some of that ignorance still persists today but thankfully getting better

It Doesn’t really affect your choice of who to marry.
The woman’s and her offspring life will follow the same path (Sorta kinda).

Carazon:
Some women may not even take in again after the first child, that's the reason RH factor is very necessary.

Is there no solution to this?

I did not read it because the first two paragraph was giving me a headache, you guys should learn to proof read before posting plzzz
