QuestionHello.
In 1995 I was 16 and had an abortion without my parents knowing. When the abortion was completed I was given a RhoGAM shot. I remember a nurse telling me she was giving me this shot and "to never forget" I had it. I was so young I really didnt know what she meant but I did not question her.
Now, all these years later I have a 4 year old little girl - with autism. Very mild. I was told that RhoGAM shot can cause autism??? I really have no idea, I am just going off of what I heard. But, I want to know, if a woman gets this shot after an abortion, would or could it affect a second pregnany?
I am not sure if you can answer this or not, but I really do appreciate your time. Thank you.
AnswerDear Kristi-
Thanks for your question. I apologize, but this is out of my expertise. But I did do a google search and found this:
