What happens when she becomes pregnant again as she is Rh negative?
Patient: My daughter just had a miscarriage . Come to find out she is rh negative.  She did receive a shot of rogam not sure of that spelling.  This was her first pregnancy.  What happens when she becomes pregnant again?  And should she have another shot of this when she becomes pregnant? Doctor: HI,   I understand your concern.   If a Rh - ve mother carries( conceives )  with a Rh +ve child , there are rsk of her being sensitized to Rh +ve blood . To clear this effect Anti D injection (Rhogam )is given  within 24 hours of  delivery & abortion .This helps in-   -  Avoiding complications in next delivery,   - Avoiding serious  reaction  after blood transfusion in mother .. in case she needs it through out her life.   * So, in case of  your daughter-      It's good that she has received anti D after her abortion. That has made her coming pregnancy / blood transfusion ( if she needs it ) safe.     She will have to get Anti D injection after her next delivery too.. If her new born baby is Rh +ve.      Rh - ve mothers need this precaustion every time the give birth/ abort.    Thanks.
