QuestionI had an abortion last year in march and they gave me a choice whether or not I wanted to take the rhogam or not, so I did not get the shot. Now, I am pregnant and 14 weeks, so what would happen to me before they give me the shot. Which I was told they give the rhogam at 16 weeks.
AnswerHi Arlene,
the answer to this question depends on what your bloodtype is, and important AS WELL what the bloodtype of your partner is.If you are Rh Neg and he also is Rh neg. there is no problem. If you are Rh Neg and he is Rh Pos its possible that your antibodies to his bloodtype will damage the baby.
The shot now has no effect. Just too late.
Hope this answers your question. Take care, dr Shan
