My doctor told me about something called Anti-D injection. I was wondering if all pregnant women need to take it, or only in certain cases? Please clear my confusion.
I am O-negative, so I had to take the Anti-D injection around the 28th week and again after delivery. My sister-in-law is B-positive, and she never had to take it. It completely depends on your blood type, but your doctor will guide you best based on your tests.
Nahi didi, sabko nahi lagta ye injection. Agar aapka blood group negative hai, tabhi doctor dete hain taaki aane wale bacche ko koi dikat na ho. Apne doctor se iske baare mein zaroor baat karna, wo sab acche se samjha denge.
I read about this on my pregnancy tracker app! It's only needed if you are Rh-negative. The app actually reminded me to ask my doctor about it around week 28, but since I am positive, the doc said I didn't need it.
Nope! It is only given if you have a negative blood group (like O-ve or A-ve) and baby has a positive one. My blood group is B+ve, so I didn't need it at all! ☺️
No, it's not for every pregnancy. Only if the mother's blood group is negative. You will find out your blood group in the very first routine blood tests anyway, so don't worry about it unnecessarily.
I am actually learning about this recently as we are trying to conceive. From what my sister told me, it is only for negative blood groups to protect the baby. It's so amazing how doctors can protect the little one so safely.
No, it is strictly based on your Rhesus factor (blood group). I had complications so I had to be very careful. If you are Rh-negative, this is a crucial shot to prevent future issues. Please discuss your blood report carefully with your gynac.
This is purely based on blood group, specifically if yours is negative. There is no home alternative for this, so please follow whatever your doctor says. Also, if you have any sudden spotting or bleeding, let your gynac know immediately, as they might need to give it early.
Definitely not for everyone! Only the 'negative' blood group club gets this special treatment, haha. I am A+ve, so I was saved from this extra injection. Trust me, with all the diaper changes and no sleep, you'll be glad for one less poke!
