im assuming you mean rh negative, my sister has that, at 28 weeks you have to get the rogham shot, i dont think there is anything else you need to worry about other then to make sure you get that shot around 28 weeks!

I had to have the Rhogam shot twice for each of my pregnancies.

Both of my children have positive blood, so I had to get it AFTER they were born too.

Just to let you know, the needle is HUGE, and it's a serum, so it's THICK and BURRRNS! Jesus!

Another reason I'm not having more kids for a few years...so I can foget!! LOL!

haha way to scare someone sarah j/k, i dont htink it is too bad but eh i havent had the shot my sister did. She also had to get it after her kids were born, ah and she gets to do it in 2 mths here again she is around 20 wks pregnant now! Shes supposed to find out the sex of her baby today . usually they do it around 28 weeks the shot give or take a week or 2, i know with her son she was moving around and in diff states.
If you dont get the shot , it can harm you and/or the baby because your body will try and attack the baby if they are posotive and u are rh negative.

I'm Rh negative, so I had to have the Rhogam shot at 28 weeks. My daughter must be negative as well, because I didn't need another one after she was born (although I was never told what blood type she is??). However, I don't remember it hurting like Sarah described!!!

Oh man, maybe it was just the nurse...cuz DAMN!!

Oni is A , and Nya is O . I'm A-, and Baron is O .

When the nurse came in with the shot I started SHAKING!!!! She reminded me that I just pushed her out with NO meds, that the needle is NOTHING!!

I told her to put it in HER butt then! LOL!

EEEK! ONE day, I'll have a baby with (-) blood!! ::crosses fingers::!!

I don't remember it hurting much... Just my leg kinda went numb, but I think that was just my mind. But yes, it is a serum, so it hurts a little worse than a liquid shot (flu shot perfect example)

But yes, if the baby has blood (they do tests), they will give you another wonderful shot within 24? hours after delivery.

BTW I'm O-, so if you get a blood transfusion without them knowing your blood type, it's mine you get Razz Which makes me want to give blood all the more...
