Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 If this helps. I just gave birth two weeks ago I am O - I straight out refused the 28 week shot, my doctor gave me his two bits about it, I shared information with him (Sherri's Info) and we left that appoint amiably. With the understanding that after the baby's Birth if the baby was in fact RH pos we would revisit the issue. Please note I thought it was very funny that all of my hospital paperwork had a BIG RH Negative stamped on it. Needless to say baby was born 2 weeks ago, I asked them to test the abilical cord for blood type, and then ironically 24 hours later had heard nothing, I finally called the nurses station before we all left and guess what Baby was o Neg too. Stay strong Oh yes and this was in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I wish that would happen to me too! Dh is A+ and I’m O- Haven’t had one yet that was negative :::sigh:::: I keep hoping but dh punnet squared it and said my odds were very unlikely I too refused the shot at 28 weeks Congratulations on the new baby! Isn’t just the neatest thing ever?!—which is frustrating to see someone formula feed and vaccinate such a little tiny thing..so tiny. They need the protection from NOT vaxxing and the antibodies from breastmilk… at least in the hospital or at least the first 6 weeks.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yes, it it given to protect the next baby. As far as I am aware, there has been no testing on the safety of giving it to pregnant women, and I would refuse on that basis alone. IMO, if you are not planning on having more, then it's just not worth the risk to the baby in the womb to protect a potential future child. I refused the rhogam during pregnancy with all of my children. I was going to get it after birth, except my first 3 were negative. My 4th was positive, but I don't plan on having more children, so it was unnecessary. Up until recently, they were only giving it after birth anyway.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I was given rhogam during pregnancy with my first and she's about to turn 19.. so in the US.. how " recently " is recent if you are referring to the US?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Rhogam would not be necessary if doctors waited to cut the cord. The blood that remains in the cord belongs to the baby. It goes back into the placenta and into the mother. One wrong intervention leads to another, and another....I never got the rhogam shot and I am rh- with the duffy factor. ~ Maureen R.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Giving of the rhogam shot is one thing that most autistic children have in their background.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Rhogam still has mercury in it. you have to special request non thimersol and it’s special order.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Really? Wow! I wasn't offered it for my first babies back in 2005 and 2006.I was offered it for the 3rd and discussed it with the midwife for the 4th. I assumed that was normal not to be given rhogam back then (2005). I had a pregnancy back in 94, and was told then that I would receive it after birth, nothing about during pregnancy.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Rhogam has been given since the 1940s. The 28 week shot is relatively new.The most conservative protocol is to deliver the baby and delay the cord cutting, take a cord sample of blood to make sure no blood has been mixed; then send the cord sample to the lab and give the mother the rhogam shot intramuscularly within 72 hours if there is any mixing of blood types. ~ Maureen R.
