Hey All,
I am in the early days of pregnancy, just coming up to 5 weeks. I am Rh - (Oneg blood type) and don't have my first Doc appointment till 8 weeks). Not sure whether my hubby is neg or positive, he's off to give blood this week and find out. But here's the question- If, (here's a big hoping I don't, but if) I miscarry between now and doc's appointment, I've read that you need to get the shot that stops you producing anti baby antibodies within 72 hours in order to be able to carry again. H0pefully none of this will happen, but want to know whats going on and what to do if it does. Does that mean I'd rock up at emergency in order to get the shot?? Just unsure of what to do in that event.
Ta all,
Tralala :)

It's only a problem if your DH is posstive. Than you'd need an anti d injection.

If it were me, any sign of blood I'd be straight at the GP or ER. Which ever is easier & quicker.

I'm -, DH is + & I had a large bleed at 12 weeks. Ened up in ED by ambulance with a threatened misscarrige. Was given anti D than, again at 28 weeks & after delivery.
