Rhogam Shot

Today I had to go get a rhogam shot. I'm so amazed at the whole Rh incompatibility issue and that we have such a simple solution now days.

If you need a simple refresher (like I do with every pregnancy) here it is. I have Rh- blood, which only 15% of women do. This is not a problem if the husband also has Rh- because the baby will for sure have Rh- blood also. But in our case Robert has Rh+ blood so the baby could have - or + and if the baby has + blood then there could be problems if it crosses with my - blood.
So the dr. makes sure I get a rhogam shot at 28 weeks and then again after delivery if the baby is Rh+. Such a simple solution to kind of a complex thing. Thanks to whoever discovered all these bloody things!
