Negative Blood Group

Has anyone else been told they have an RhD negative blood group, and will need anti-D injections. I was thinking of opting out of this because both myself and my partner are negative blood groups. Has anyone else done the same or is in the same position as me?

I think you only need the anti-D injections if your baby turns out to be positive which is very unlikely if your partner is negative too!
I'm negative but my partner has no idea what he is, so I've had a blood test to determine what baby will be. Haven't had my results yet but if they are positive I'm going to need the anti-D injections!

I’m RhD negative too… my first baby was RhD positive so I had to have the anti D injections. This time, my baby is RhD negative as well. So I don’t need them.
It all depends on the blood type of baby. ☺️ it’s basically to stop your body essentially destroying different cells, so a different blood type ie: your baby. 👶🏼 Very basic overview. You should get more info when you find out what baby is. X

In some areas they are testing the babies blood whilst they're still in utero, they take a sample of your blood and are able to see markers of the baby's blood to tell what blood group they are. Ask if this is a possibility maybe?

I’m B negative and I had the test because we didn’t know what my husband was and my baby boy is a positive blood type so I’ll be having the anti d at 28 weeks. I also had one at 13 weeks due to bleeding

I'm RhD negative they should offer you a blood test to determine the babies blood type
As i found out about a week later the baby is also RhD negative too so no Anti D injections are needed

Hello!! I am negative as well, my partner is positive, I have done the blood test to check my baby's blood type and the result is "high chance of baby blood being RhD negative" so I was like uhuu won't need the injection, but now I've received a letter with a doctor appointment to discuss the anti-D injection....
I think it is because they can't say 100% that the baby is RhD negative, not sure why.. will know more when I have the appointment!

I’m O- and have found out the baby is + so have my injections scheduled at 28 weeks.

I'm - a blood type, and since I was young, I knew I would need the anti-D injections when pregnant, so it’s normal for me.
I would definitely consider having it if you want more children. If this baby has a positive blood type, there's a high chance that your body may reject future pregnancies with the same blood type, potentially leading to miscarriages.

Hey! Thank you for your response. From my understanding the baby can’t have a positive blood type if both myself and my partner are negative. I will speak to my midwife though and check this is the case of course.

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?
