In order for you to have your antibodies attack your rh positive fetus, you need to have antibodies to begin with. And you cannot have any antibodies unless they were triggered  during a first pregnancy with an rh positive child&#8230; right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons why you can have antibodies. And that is counting out miscarriages or having had an abortion previously. One possible reason:<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are rh negative and your mother is rh positive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your mother is rh positive, your and her blood could have mixed in the womb causing you to create the antibodies already. They take long enough to build to where it doesn&#8217;t affect the pregnancy. But it means that you will carry the antibodies whenever you yourself become pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>The rule is not to assume anything and get an antibody screening done before you get pregnant.<br>\nThat way all other possibilities are being taken care of such as if you may have had a transfusion and were not aware of it. That can be the case in cases of early adoptions for example where your original medical records are not available to you.<br>\nThe exception is if you have an rh negative partner. But if you refuse the Anti-D shot because of that, make sure to have your partner or husband (baby&#8217;s father) tested again in the same hospital where you will be and are being treated. That way you make sure they make sure to get it right. There have been many blood type tests falsely typed. Get your partner&#8217;s\/husband&#8217;s test results in writing. That way you have evidence what you base your decision on.<\/p><div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_twitter_via = \"datebytype\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"datebytype\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Can the rh disease kick in during a first pregnancy?\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_twitter_via = \"datebytype\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"datebytype\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Can the rh disease kick in during a first pregnancy?\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>We always hear that you cannot have complications due to rh incompatibility during your first pregnancy.
