My gynac wrote rh on my blood test slip and i forgot to ask her what it actually means. Im 10 weeks and now im googling and getting confused. Can someone explain in simple words na?
Haan it just tells positive ya negative blood. Mere case mein positive tha so no extra step. If negative aaye to doc ek injection deti hai na, that's the only difference, simple hai.
It's basically your blood group plus the Rh factor, the positive or negative part. It's standard in the first set of pregnancy bloods. Your doctor will tell you if any extra care is needed based on the result, so no need to worry in advance.
Rh test checks if your blood is Rh positive or negative. My doctor explained that if mom is Rh negative and baby is Rh positive it can cause issues, so they give an injection called anti-D to prevent problems. It's a routine blood test done early, nothing scary.
This is usually part of the basic antenatal blood panel so it's not expensive. I got it done in the first trimester along with other tests in one go to save money. Ask your clinic for the combined package, comes cheaper.
I am Rh negative so this test mattered a lot in my pregnancy. They monitored me closely and gave me the injection at the right time, all went fine. If your report says negative just follow your gynac strictly, don't skip the injection.
