Yes. I remember taking the Rhogam injection when i had my first baby, cos my blood group is O - and my kids dad is O+ . We were given a lecture on the essence of me taking the injection. Nice write up OP. People need to be educated about it cos most people are not aware. 5 Likes 1 Share |

God bless you for the write up. my wife is rh-. she once had miscarriage before now. we were advised to go for indirect coombs test.bwhich came out negative and you know Nigerian hospital and their time wasting tactics. I want to understand the negative outcome. does it means she hasn't develop antibodies or she has already. or does it mean the child is rh-. according to tour right up of a father is rh-+ then the child have to be rH+. please enlighten me a bit more. the doctor in charge of her case have refused to pick call since last week. thank you in advance 1 Like |

Read carefully for better understanding. Laura Ezinne Idika wrote: Ifeoma got married in the year 2010,from that time till now she has been rocked with 10 heart breaking miscarriages. She blames the terrible experience on the witches in her village ,she doesn't know that she and the Nigerian dysfunctional system is the cause of her predicament .i will tell you how. Have you ever heard of the word Rhesus factor? 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. Now that we are clear on what Rh factor is Let's move further to why I said Ifeoma is the cause of her miscarriages . if you are Rh positive eg(a+,b+,o+,ab+) you are safe, but if you are negative eg(a-,B-,AB-,O-) you not. If are a male Rh - u are safe, if you are a female u 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. Most people are Rh positive only very few are negative, the possibility for a rh- woman to find a rh- man is slim. Let's assume Ifeoma 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 ,d 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 d 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. Because our dysfunctional system doesn't promote proper rhesus factor sensitization, Ifeoma is left helpless after one mistake. 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 as the blood would immediately clog and cake . know your rhesus factor today.

Thanks Op for this educative piece. Let me however make this clarification. A child born to a rhesus negative mother and whose father is rhesus positive must not be rhesus positive as the op pointed out. The child may either be rhesus positive (like the father) or rhesus negative (like the mother). Again, a rhesus negative woman can actually receive blood from a rhesus positive donor without the compatibility issues that will lead to maternal death as the Op posited. The only thing is to weigh the risk between saving the woman's life or allow her become sensitized. So the fear is for the future pregnancies not on the woman. However, even in a setting of sensitization, the foetus can be monitored closely and many have been salvaged without dire consequences. https://www.nairaland.com/2429829/rhesus-negative-blood-group-pregnancy cheers! 3 Likes 1 Share |
