Noted. Thanks

That's where antiphospholipid antibodies come to play..... It won't hurt if u just read it up and do an update about rhesus isoimmunization and miscarriages.

U will be surprised, i used to think it was a cause of miscarriage until i was proven wrong...... There is no harm in learning new things..... That's what medicine is all about

Noted. Thanks.

NB: The OP is not a Doctor.

ChelseaDr:


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!!

I'm kinda confused here o
..someone mentioned above that the drug helped an o negative woman after the second miscarriage(she didn't get the injection in the first one) and is able to have children thereafter

Sir, I want to learn more.

In simple sentences, what are the adverse effects of Rhesus Incompatibility (Rh- woman with Rh+ man) with Rh+ foetus in pregnancy, without taking Rhogam?

Please, I need your response. I want to learn more. Thanks.

Wow Absolutely enlightening

Scholar212:
No he is a plumber with the Dr attached to d name and plenty medical explanation you want him to upload his license first Abi. Lol

nawa oo,so everyone that has the tag Dr attached to their name is a medical Dr. you are incredible, even in a forum where people use different pseudo names. mtcheeww,pls take your yeye self away from my mention. After all,I didn't quote or mention your name. you should have allowed the person I quoted reply me.

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

lord have mercy. why so much suffering

You don't need to panic. I want to believe Rhogam was administered after the evacuation of the previous pregnancy. It's better you register for antenatal early and let your doctor know your history without leaving out any detail. You might need another shot around 28wks and compulsorily after birth. Should you experience any spotting or bleeding during the pregnancy, you will need the shot. I wish you a safe delivery and healthy bouncing triplets

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.

ChelseaDr:
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.

cheers!

pls stop misinforming people coz I wonder what u gain from it. and if u r not sure of something y not keep mute n read the comments, the Op is correct so deal with it.

Let's discuss it here so that others can benefit from it. Thanks.

ChelseaDr:


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.

ENJOY YOUR "EBA" JARE!!!
cheers!!

Thanks a million Times for the well articulated response. Honestly, you guys 'schooled' me. It's not like I haven't registered for ante-natal have. But you know all these our nurses with their 'frustration-laden' way of attending to patients. But with all that I've read here, I fully understand and will do the needful asap. Once again, I sincerely appreciate everyone's contribution on this. This is how an e-family should be. ..

The subsequent babies may be Rh - and therefore no more complications since inheritance is either Rh + or Rh-

Can someone please tell me the likely Genotype associated with O+ blood group?

KAYD007:
Can someone please tell me the likely Genotype associated with O+ blood group?

all genotypes. AA, AS, SS, AC, SC, even CC. It's the blood group that is particular to the rhesus ranging from O+, O-, AB+, AB-, A+, A-, B+, B-
