Hey there... I'm rh negative and worrying
about a few things. Now when I first
started my ob appointments he told me that
I didnt have to worry about the shots of
rogam until I was about 28 weeks, but if I
had any spotting to get straight to emerg.
For my shot. About 2 weeks ago I had
spotting and went for the shot of rogam,
now I am just wondering, because i've had
the shot , am I going to have to start
getting it regularly or do I still wait
until 28 weeks?

Hey! I'm .R.H(-) as well!! I'm blood
type .A(-)
i had my 1st .Rhogam shot at 28 weeks.
There are 2 shots that come with being
.R.H(-)
one is during pregnancy and one is after
birth depending on the blood type of your
child. My daughter's blood type is .A(+)
so I had to get another shot.
You don't continue to get the shot during
pregnancy!
Don't worry! I'm sure all is well!!
You're almost ready to have her huh??

Same as .Sarah only i'm o negative ...
Just had to get a shot at 28 weeks then
again right after .Kaylee was born bc she
is o positive.
I was spotting at 15 weeks so I got the
rhogam shot then. Then I had another one
at 28 weeks.
I cant remember if I got one after the
birth or not.

Alright thanks ladies ... Well i'm only
17 weeks so i'm not quite there yet , I
had spotting though so apparently it's a
concern because if the baby is rh positive
and our blood somehow combines, it can
create dangerous antibodies , still
wrapping my brain around the whole concept
of it I didnt even know I was rh neg.
Until I got preggo! I'm also o neg.
Thanks again guys , I was hoping I
wouldn't have to keep getting that shot
right in the heiny

I'm also rh-! Except .I have no idea what
my blood type is.. Lol. I had to get the
rhogam shot after .I had a miscarriage-
what .I didn't know was that .I was
already pregnant again! Ha! But they
still gave it to me again at 28wks. But
since you're already 17wks, .I donno if
you'll have to have it again in 11wks or
not! I don't mind getting a shot in my
butt, lol. It didn't even sting!
A few girls on here are rh - i've never
met someone besides my mom that is ...
Everyone I mention it to seem to really
have a hard time grasping what the hell I
am talking about.
My rhogam shot was the first shot in the
bum, that I can remember ... And the lady
just stuck 'er in there ... The boyfriend
was behind the curtain and laughed so hard
because of the "silly little squeal" I
made... That witch loved every minute of
it :p
