littlecavalier - 121 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) What is your husbands blood type? I thought that if the mother and father were rh negative (meaning a-, b-, ab-, o-, the negative is your rh factor, not sure what the other comments mean, rh is definitely not a blood type) then you don't need the shots because your baby will also be rh-. Do you know what your husbands blood type is?

Katiebug - 122 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) With my first pregnancy I had a shot at 28 weeks. After my baby was born they tested his blood type, and because it came back O- aswell, I didn't have to have the second shot. If his blood type had not been (-) then I would have had to have the follow up shot. Hope that makes sense and helps!

Mrs.M.H. - 122 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Like I said my girl friend has had two and she's 33 weeks now. and had the second a week or two ago. She had her first one a month or so before that. Oh, and congrats you are what they call a universal donor! The only thing you have be careful of is the fact that you can only receive 0-. See me I'm next in line with 0+ and can donate to anyone except you, and you can donate to me, you, or anyone and A and B types can donate to A and B types=) Good to know!

KarenVG - 122 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yeah you do need a rhogam shot and it is between 28weeks and 32 weeks. So double check with your doctor at the closest visit to 28 weeks.

uhmanduh - 122 days ago ok thanks. i thought rh wasnt a blood type. im so confused my doctor never got back to me with this info.
