Anti-D

Rh negative blood groups can form antibodies to Rh antigen. This is why individuals with RH negative blood groups should _never_ be transfused with Rh positive blood. During pregnancy, some amount of blood from the baby always leaks across the placenta into the mother’s circulation. If the baby has an RH positive blood group and the mother’s blood group is negative, the mother can form antibodies to the baby’s blood. This occurs only when sufficient blood has leaked across the placenta. These antibodies can destroy the baby’s blood cells and cause complications. Injecting Anti-D will remove the blood cells of the baby from the mother’s blood and prevent formation of antibodies by the mother. It is possible that your baby also has a negative blood group. In this case you will not need anti-D. If you are not aware of the baby’s blood group, or if your baby has a positive blood group, you should consult your doctor. They will do some tests to see if you are producing antibodies to Rh positive blood. It may be possible to have another baby even if you are producing Rh antibodies. However, you will need to be monitored very carefully throughout pregnancy. Your doctor should be able to discuss all aspects of the issue with you in detail.
