Antibody Problem After Blood Transfusion And Now Pregnant .. Posted: 08-10-07 17:07pm
Hello-
2 years ago I had complications with my
gallbladder surgery and required a blood
tranfusion. I am now 13 weeks pregnant,
and my OB-GYN Dr has told me that I now
have ANTI-BIG-C based on test results
which I picked up from the blood donor.
The ratio is now 1:1 but my Dr is telling
me that if the number rises then they will
have to do a blood transfusion on the
baby. I really don't understand all of
this. Would like to know exactly what
this means, what are the chances that it
will affect the baby, and looking
long-term how will having this in my blood
affect me? Thank you!
