Pilot4Airbus:I would say yes but many people don't bother to do tests on these two. I witnessed this case in 2014 at one hospital. The woman was just having miscarriages after she had given birth to one daughter already. Her husband was so fed up that he didn't want to hospital bills for that last miscarriage treatment. I knew what was happening but how do I put mouth for what didn't concern me? 1 Like |

Kennie21:if her husband were to be negative and she's negative, she won't need it. If she's positive and husband is negative, she won't need it still but she's negative and her husband is positive and there's every tendency that the child will be positive so, she needs it for preventive measures. 1 Like |

Alice07: I think we should get this fact right... Rhogam has no role or benefit in a woman who has been sensitized already. Rhogam is an antibody given to the rhesus negative woman during pregnancy or after birth or outside pregnancy after being transfused with rhesus positive blood (rarely anyway) in order to mop up the rhesus factor circulating within the woman's blood before they are being recognized as foreign and antibodies produced against them. If a woman is sensitized, then it means her body has already formed antibodies waiting for the incoming rhesus positive baby to attack, hence rhogam (which is an antibody) cannot fight the already formed antibody because they are similar and cannot antagonize each other. Rhogam only attacks antigens (rhesus factors). Therefore if she is sensitized, then she does not need rhogam. Cheers!! 1 Like |

[quote author=korday post=59880977][/quote] It's not yet uhuru, don't relax yet, the indirect coombs test will have to be repeated monthly because there is still chance of her getting sensitized. There may be need for rhogam at 28 weeks and after birth, so get ready because the drug is expensive. Cheers!! 1 Like 1 Share |

The amount of knowledge I've gained on this thread is unauantifiable. Please I'd have a few questions to ask the doctors in the house; I'm O- while my husband is O+. I lost my first pregnancy with him under some not too palatable circumstance. Now, I'm carrying another baby which is around 30 weeks old. My questions are; 1- How do I ascertain if the antibody has also been secreted in me as a result of my first pregnancy loss? 2- Let's say it has been secreted, what do I do to be sure that this baby I'm carrying wouldn't be hurt. Although she's very fine at the moment. Scan has revealed that it's gonna be a girl and that she's in a perfect state. 3- Let's assume my body didn't secret the antibody that time, will there still be any need for the injection? PS: Do not blame me for asking too many questions, ever since I read all these I've not been able to swallow ordinary water very well.

MademoiselleMiel: Eeya! So sorry for the loss of your first pregnancy. I know our able doctors in the house will come and answer your questions. However, relax your mind ooo, please! Don't panic! All will be well by God's grace. I would want to advise you to explain everything to your Doctor(s) especially your Rhesus status and that of your husband and your first miscarriage. They are in better position to handle the situation. Things will be alright by God's special grace. Amen. |

ChelseaDr:but she said the woman is O negative, had a miscarriage didn't get the injection, lost another one, got the injection and is able to have other children |

MademoiselleMiel: Don't worry after this contribution you should be able to swallow not just water but full blown "eba" (on a lighter note). N/B: You should have had Rhogam injection after the miscarriage if you had visited the hospital with doctors that understand the implications of rhesus negative prenancy. Now to your questions..... Q1: To ascertain if the antibody had been secreted you should have registered for antenatal in a health facility with doctors who have knowledge about rhesus negative pregnancy. They will conduct a simple blood test called indirect coombs test. If the test is positive then, they will conduct other tests to confirm. At 30 weeks it is still not late to do although scan has shown that the baby is OK, but you can still go start antenatal for further care if you have not started but if you have remind the doctors about the test. Q2: If the antibody had been secreted, then all you need is surveillance for the baby which scanning is a component, go for antenatal if you've not started. Q3: YES! If your body did not secrete the antibody, and you are rhesus negative, you will definitely need the injection after your baby is born, unless if her blood group is also rhesus negative.

Kennie21: Yes, that someone is sensitized does not mean that she cannot carry pregnancies to viability and even to term. It all depends on the quantity of antibodies present. If the antibodies present are not too much then all the pregnancy needs is monitoring with intervention only when things change, otherwise it should be allowed to continue till nine months (or 34-38 weeks) and delivered. Yes if someone is sensitized then rhogam has no benefit any longer. Cheers!! 1 Like |

MademoiselleMiel: Plz rhesus isoimmunization hardly cause miscarriages as stated in d post. I put up a reply on this post to correct the wrong impression. Also it is not so common among blacks, however during ur next pregnancy a Rhesus antibody titre can be done for u and if negative u should have rhogam during and/or immediately after the pregnancy. For prevention of recurrent miscarriage see a gynaecologist asap and see my post in the health section for possible causes of miscarriages. All d best. |

petitejolie: When you never ready to born you go fear injection but when the time reach you go see injection like nothing. First appointment they don draw blood run all tests in the medical book. Another appointment they will check for anemia (this one will be more than 3 times in 9 months) Plus TT vaccine ( my sister said hers was 5 times) i took only once Later take blood for this and that and you will get so sick that you will just be going for antenatal with the mindset that one nurse will come with needle.... 2 times rhogam shot na the least of your injection problem |

Kennie21: If someone has been sensitized the drug has no added benefit whether it is after miscarriage (post sensitization) or after normal delivery. Rhesus incompatibility is not a very common cause of miscarriage as drpompay pointed out. Cheers!! 1 Like |
